How do I start streaming?

Introduction:

So you want to start streaming? That's great! Streaming can be a lot of fun, and it's a great way to connect with other gamers. But it can also be a lot of work. It takes time and practice to build up a following, and it's not always easy to get started. But don't worry, we're here to help. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps you need to take to start streaming.

Connect your smart TV or streaming device.

If you've chosen to stream using a device like a Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick or Google Chromecast, the first thing you need to do is connect it to your TV. After that's done, switch your TV to the input that corresponds with the device you just plugged in. If everything looks good so far, proceed to the next step. (If you're using a smart TV without a streaming device, skip this step and go to paragraph four.) For most devices, this will take you to the homepage where all of your streaming apps (Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, etc.) will live. From there you can choose which app you'd like to open and start streaming.

Connect to the internet.

You’re almost ready to start streaming! The final step is to connect your device or smart TV to the internet. This is usually as simple as connecting to your home wifi network or, if you’re using a mobile device, entering your cellular data plan information. Once you’re connected, open an app like Netflix, Hulu, or HBO Go. If the app doesn’t automatically load, go to the search bar and type in the name of the show or movie you want to watch. You should see a list of results with a thumbnail preview and short description for each. If you see the show or movie you want to watch, click on it and start streaming!

Download, sign up, and sign in to streaming apps.

To watch streaming content on your TV, you'll need to download the appropriate app on your streaming device. For example, if you have a Smart TV, the popular streaming apps will usually be pre-loaded on the homepage. If you have an Apple TV, you can customize the layout of the apps so that only the streaming apps you want are displayed. Then, open each app and sign in using your account information. Once you're signed in, you can start watching your favorite show—whether it's Tiger King or How to Train Your Dragon.

Streaming on your smartphone

If you’re wanting to stream on your iPhone or Android smartphone, we recommend an unlimited data plan so you can stream as much as you’d like without worries. 4G LTE has made streaming video a breeze and more popular than ever, so make sure you’re covered so you don’t miss out on anything. In addition to being able to watch your favorite shows, movies, and live sports, having an unlimited data plan will future-proof you in case streaming becomes even more popular. No one wants to be stuck on a one-hour train ride without being able to watch Star Trek’s Picard. Our best unlimited data cell phone plans include Verizon (best performance), T-mobile (best perks), AT&T (best data speeds), and Visible Wireless (best prepaid).

Conclusion:

Streaming is a great way to watch your favorite TV shows, movies, and sporting events. It's also a great way to connect with friends and family. You can also watch live broadcasts of news, concerts, and other events.
