Two notable missing supported devices are Amazon Fire TV and Roku streaming players. The two platforms make up nearly 80 million active streamers, which will leave many in a lurch.
However, there’s workaround for those with devices thanks to Peacock support of Google Cast. It is a little easier since Roku devices natively support Google Cast, while for Fire TV devices you will first need to install a third-party app like AllCast or TV Cast.
Unfortunately, Peacock is also not compatible with PlayStation and Nintendo. You will need a different streaming device if you want to watch Peacock.
