If you do not have an online login

Recommended Free Tools
Subscriptions purchased through the SiriusXM app or another retailer may need to be managed through that retailer rather than SiriusXM’s Online Account Center. If you do not have the account information required to sign in, SiriusXM says you can contact a Listener Care agent through chat.

Supported browsers and devices
SiriusXM lists Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome for computer Web Player access and recommends using the latest browser version. Its currently displayed computer requirements list Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 for PCs, and OS X 10.9 or later for Macs, with an ISDN-or-faster connection. The requirements page currently displays a “PAGE NOT FOUND” wrapper while still showing this requirements text, so these older operating-system entries should not be treated as a complete guarantee for every current computer, including Windows 11.
For the mobile apps, SiriusXM currently lists iOS 16 or later and Android 7 or later. If your computer or phone is older, updating the operating system, browser, or app may be necessary before playback works reliably.

Switch between the Web Player and the app

What happens after eight hours of listening?
SiriusXM may display a notice after eight hours of continuous listening without activity. Select Keep Listening to continue. If you do not acknowledge the notice, the player shuts down within five minutes.
This is an inactivity-protection measure intended to prevent unattended streaming on a computer or mobile device. It does not necessarily mean that your internet connection has failed or that your subscription has expired.

If audio skips in Music for Business
SiriusXM gives a separate Chrome fix for the Music for Business Web Player, not the general consumer Web Player:
- Enter
chrome://chromein Chrome’s address bar. - If Chrome is out of date, allow it to update.
