IPTV on PlayStation & Xbox: What's Actually Possible
Neither PlayStation nor Xbox has IPTV apps in its store, but you still have a few options.
Browser-based playback
Both consoles include a web browser that can run a browser-based IPTV player. See our browser playback guide for how this works.
Casting from another device
Screen mirroring or casting from a phone (see screen mirroring guide) is often more reliable than the console browser.
What we recommend
If your console is your only living-room device, a low-cost Fire TV Stick alongside it (see Firestick setup) works far better than working around the console's limits.
