Stream not connecting

Streaming is working from the TV box but it will not connect from my PC it is stuck on the "Now connecting to your entertainment experience" screen I have restarted the complete network and tried connecting from multiple PC's.  No VPN to interrupt and still no luck.

How do you troubleshoot this issue?

Same here. The problem started at noon yesterday.  It won't load beyond the three dots. Some other pages on the site are not loading properly too.  I tried all the trouble shooting protocols on multiple devices to no avail.  Online chat said a tech would call 10hrs ago-no call.

just dropping by to say i was having the same issue, despite clearing cache, deleting cookies, etc. 

as tenorsaxylady mentioned, disabling adblocker fixed it for me.

I had the same experience, starting yesterday around Noon. Disabling ad blocker fixed it.

It's really nice to see the Xfinity Support is helping us with this, NOT why is it that nobody from xfinity responds to these things, Oh yea it does not make them money so let the customer suffer. 

I don't have any add blocker extensions to turn off! 

Can we get some real answers?

Thank You.

@user_ehoo0b Thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Forums. While we can certainly understand your desire to receive assistance with accessing the streaming app on your computer.

Have you had a chance to clear your cache and cookies and reboot your computer? These simple steps tend to clear most connection issues.

I had the same problem that started two days ago. And sure enough, turning off ublock on the Xfinity stream page fixed the issue.

Same problem. Streaming worked using Edge with no ad-blockers of any kind. Removing ad blockers on Chrome and Firefox did not work for me.  Xfinity support was worthless.

Hey @Samuel-27. After turning off the add blocker on either the Firefox or the Chrome, did you clear cache and cookies before trying to stream again?

No ad-blocker on my Chromebook but still not working.  Stream worked the last 7 weekends to watch my football games, not this weekend.  I rarely need to use your Stream but football season is the exception and you totally let me down this time.  Thanks a lot, Xfinity.

finally got it to work on my Chromebook but I missed all the college football games I was going to watch today.  Needless to say, I'm P.O.'d at Xfinity for putting me through this.  The way I finally got it to work is that I had to put the built-in Chrome browser of my Chromebook into Incognito mode.  That makes no sense because you would think they would want to know my identity and whether I am a legitimate Xfinity Stream user, but no.  For all the advertisement they do telling how great Stream is (by the one slightly older kid telling some other slightly younger kids that they are lucky to live at this point in time because they have Stream), they should have techs making sure it works perfectly instead of making the customer jump through hoops for several days to get it to work.

I am having the same problem.  I turned off my ad blockers, which did not resolve this.  I called Customer Service and they said Steam is no longer working through the Internet portal.

Hey there @user_38pax7 ! Thanks for reaching out about your trouble with the web portal streaming! I myself had the same issue, and I added xfinity.com/stream as a safe site on my ad blocker and got right back in. I am not sure what you may be using, but that is something to try if you are still having this issue!
