Can You Watch Netflix on Peloton?

If you spend anytime on my website you know I am a huge Peloton fan and love my Peloton bike and Peloton Tread.

I personally love all the Peloton content, and I have never had a desire to watch something else on my bike, or while exercising.

But I know some people do prefer to watch their own content, or maybe they just want to take a break from the classes. For that reason I have seen the question asked numerous times, can you watch Netflix on Peloton?

Yes, it is possible to watch netflix on Peloton.

Should I watch Netflix on Peloton?

Okay, I will tell you straight up I am not going to use my bike this way. I will show you how to do it, but Peloton does not endorse this or recommend it.

In fact there are rumors that hacking your Peloton bike will void the Peloton warranty. I know plenty of people do it but I have no idea if this causes issues with the tablet.

I love the content enough that I almost always find a live ride or something in the on demand library to watch while riding.

Some alternatives to hacking your Peloton include using an iPad to watch Netflix.

Or you can watch a TV in the room and use the Scenic Ride or Just Ride feature. I have a TV setup in my gym but guess what, I don't watch it.

When doing cardio I need the push to get the most out of it, if I just turn the TV on and watch it without coaching then I really don't feel I am getting the best workout.

There may be times you need to take it easy though, or maybe you don't care and want Netflix on the bike.

In that case read on for instructions on how to install it.

How to watch Netflix on Peloton

• On the Peloton tablet touchscreen click the bottom right corner three dots.

• A menu will appear and click "About"

• This will bring up a box that looks like this. I blocked out my bike's identifying information.
• Tap the bottom right hand corner of the box quickly several times in a row.

• On the page that opens, click on the green robot icon "WebView Browser Tester"

• From here you have a web browser and you can type in Netflix and log in.

Can you watch YouTube on Peloton?

Yes, you can. It is the exact same steps.

In fact once you have this browser open it operates like any other browser. I believe you can access any website you want.

Conclusion

This is one of a few Peloton hacks, and I personally do not use it. I am not sure if there are actually any repercussions to watching Netflix on the Peloton but I am not willing to risk it.

I just love my Peloton bike way too much! I also am a huge fan of the content.

I have not personally tried watching Netflix on the Tread either but I would think it works the same way.
