This article explains the best ways to get Peacock to stream on your TV.

How to Download the Peacock App on a Smart TV

Directions for putting the Peacock app on your TV are similar to how it works to get any app. If your TV doesn’t let you download Peacock, we’ve got some other solutions below these instructions.

1. From the Home menu, select Search to find Peacock from the app store on your TV.

2. Choose the app from the results and then select Add channel. Let it download, and then select OK.

3. Open the app by choosing Go to channel or by heading back to the Home menu.

4. Select Sign Up to Watch for Free if you don’t have an account. If you’ve already subscribed, choose Sign In.

5. Enter your email and password and then select Start Watching.

Use Chromecast to Watch Peacock Content on Your Smart TV

If you’d prefer to sign up for Peacock on a mobile device or computer, or you don’t have an eligible television, Chromecast offers a workaround. Follow these steps to stream content from a Chromecast or Chromecast-enabled mobile device and smart TV:

1. Select a video from the Peacock app or through the browser on your device.

2. If you’re in the app, select the cast button.

   If you’re using Chrome on a computer, select the three dots in the corner, then click Cast, save, and share > Cast.

3. Select your Chromecast from the list to put Peacock on your smart TV.

How to Use AirPlay to Stream Peacock TV

Another route for compatible smart TVs is AirPlay streaming from a Mac or iOS device.

1. Log in to your Peacock account or open the app on your device and queue up the content you want to stream.

2. On a Mac, select the AirPlay icon in the menu bar to connect your device to a compatible smart TV.

3. Press Play and make any adjustments to the display from the AirPlay drop-down menu on your Mac, which is highlighted blue when turned on.
