Apple’s AirPlay feature provides a convenient means of streaming videos and other media from Apple devices to various devices including smart TVs. Even Amazon Fire TV devices and Samsung smart TVs can display or play the media you stream from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. However, there are some exceptions. With a compatible Amazon Fire TV Smart TV, connecting AirPlay is as simple as navigating through a few menus. Fire TV Sticks, on the other hand, require a bit more effort.
That’s not to say it’s impossible to share media from your Apple device to your Fire TV Stick. On the contrary, streaming video, photos, music, and more between these devices is a relatively straightforward process once you have everything set up. It just takes a bit of digital legwork. Once you know what to do, the whole process should only take a few minutes.
Setting up AirPlay on a Fire TV Stick
Currently, Fire TV Sticks do not have a built-in option for connecting to Apple’s screen streaming feature. However, there is a workaround using certain third-party apps.
- One highly recommended AirPlay screen-sharing app for Fire TV Sticks is AirScreen. Open the Appstore on your Fire TV Stick and download AirScreen, then wait for the installation to finish.
- Ensure that both your iPhone and Fire TV Stick are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, then open the AirScreen app.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the two devices, and check your iPhone for additional prompts.
- On your iPhone, open the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen, and tap the Screen Mirroring icon.
- Select the Fire TV Stick from the list of available devices to start sharing your iPhone’s screen.
- If you want to connect your Mac or MacBook, open AirScreen on your Fire TV Stick, select Help, choose macOS, and then pick AirPlay.
- Once done, select AirPlay on your Mac and choose the Fire TV Stick from the list of available devices.
Keep in mind that using AirScreen is not exactly the same as using AirPlay, and if your phone is oriented vertically, the video quality and dimensions may be affected. Tilt your phone horizontally (landscape mode) for a better match with the screen dimensions on both devices.
