How do I stream TV, movies, and sports to my wireless devices?
- Computers: Students living in campus housing on the university's wireless network can log into xfinityoncampus.com with his or her W&L username and password. You may need to download an updated version of Adobe Flash Player to stream to your computer (if so, you will be prompted and it will recommend the correct version for your computer). The preferred browser for a Mac is Chrome.
- Mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets: download the XFinity Stream app and follow the directions, entering your W&L username and password when prompted. See https://xfinityoncampus.com/about for details.
