Unbeknownst to many owners, the Peloton screen uses a modified version of Android. It’s pretty locked down, so you can’t sideload apps without some tinkering, but you can access a developer web browser included for testing purposes. From there, you can access YouTube, Netflix, and most other web-based apps. That means you can binge shows or watch videos while you work out. You won’t be able to see your stats or record data while the browser is running, however.
You can even watch classes and routines from YouTube, though you won’t get things like automatic resistance adjustment or your metrics visible on-screen.
To use the built-in web browser:
- Open the Profile section on the Peloton screen.
- Tap the … in the lower right.
- Tap on About.
- Tap the lower-right corner of the About box seven times.
- You’ll see a new screen with a single icon titled “WebView Browser Tester.” Tap this to open the hidden web browser.
- Type in the URL of whatever site you’d like to access.
The nice thing about this approach is you don’t have to mess with any settings or turn on developer mode, meaning it’s far less risky to use and probably will not void your warranty.
