How to Record on Xfinity Using Remote or Recorder Software

Xfinity is one of the leading cable and internet service providers in the United States of America. Although the rise in popularity of streaming services and Smart TV devices has added new competitors to the brand, Xfinity still managed to sustain its role in the market solely due to its reliability and brand awareness. One of the strongest advantages of Xfinity users over modern streaming services is their built-in recording feature that is accessible for Xfinity remote control releases. Despite that, the steps to record on Xfinity still take a few practices to learn and that is exactly what we will provide in this article today. We will provide two different tutorials about Xfinity recording by using Xfinity’s official remote control or by using a screen recorder software for Xfinity Stream. Please continue reading the article down below to learn more.

Part 1. Can I Record on Xfinity

Yes, you can. Televisions subscribed to Xfinity’s services have a built-in recorder function that can be accessed within the remote control provided to their users. The same is true for the Xfinity Stream app, which is accessible for digital platforms such as Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices. Unfortunately, the recording function for all platforms where Xfinity is available is only accessible within its Saved and Recording sections. This means that videos recorded using the tool cannot be extracted as digital files, and they cannot be shared among different devices. With that in mind, the recording function in Xfinity is more similar to having the episodes saved for offline use.
