However, there are still time when the users doesn’t need an instructor screaming at them from the screen for motivation but still need to be entertained for your workout session.

Sadly, Peloton has prohibited its users from modifying these treadmills and bikes from downloading apps such as Netflix or Hulu. Some users have used a simple approach of opening the mode name “Just Ride” and watch their favorite shows either on a TV or tablet placed over the screen of their treadmill or bike.

But what these simpleton of users did not know that there is actually a way to stream some of the content which is non-Peloton on the monitor of their equipment. Hidden well side their equipment’s device settings is the mobile browser which users can gain access to use various websites like the Plex or even YouTube.

Warning of using the Mobile Browser for non-Peloton Content:-

Still, there is an issue with using this mobile browser on your Peloton exercising equipment, if a user is willing to attempt this workaround method, they will void any warranty offered by Peloton. This means that if the website crashes your equipment’s screen, you cannot ask for a claim from Peloton.

The warranty does not mean that user is prohibited from doing this, but it does mean that Peloton is suggesting that if a user runs any other streaming content on their equipment, they are using the software and equipment of Peloton improperly.

How to find the Mobile Browser on your Peloton equipment:-
