Important Note:
After claiming, Netflix content can be streamed through its native app.
For Zee5, customers must install the app but stream content only via Airtel Xstream Play, which redirects them to Zee5.
All other 25+ OTTs are accessible within the Airtel Xstream Play interface. This hybrid approach maximises content availability while maintaining platform-specific features.
Streaming experience across devices and platforms
Airtel Xstream Play offers users a convenient way to access individual OTT subscriptions through a single platform. However, device compatibility and streaming methods can vary across services:
Supported devices: Android and iOS mobiles, Android TV, Apple TV, and web browsers
Centralised access: Most of the 25+ OTT platforms can be accessed directly from the Airtel Xstream Play app
Netflix exception: Requires streaming via the dedicated Netflix app after claiming the subscription
Regional content and language options
The ₹279 prepaid pack provides access to premium regional content that would otherwise require separate subscriptions. For example:
Hoichoi delivers Bengali entertainment
AHA focuses on Telugu content
Sun NXT covers South Indian languages (Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Kannada) comprehensively
Chaupal caters to the Punjabi audience
Hungama and ShemarooMe have an extensive Gujarati movie library
ErosNow is ideal for Marathi content
The content spans movies, contemporary web series, and local news channels in a language of your preference. The combination ensures entertainment options for every family member, regardless of language preference. You can also stream live cricket commentary in your preferred language alongside regional movies and shows.
Your entertainment ecosystem in the Airtel Xstream Play App
The "My Plans" section in the Airtel Xstream Play app becomes your central hub for subscription management. Here, you can track active OTT memberships, renewal dates, and claiming status for all bundled services.
Your Netflix subscription shows separately since it requires the native Netflix app for viewing. Other platforms like ZEE5 and JioHotstar can be accessed either through their individual apps or within the Airtel Xstream Play interface.
Management features:
Track all active subscriptions
Monitor renewal dates
