How To Use Firestick On Laptop

ByCarmen Moore Last Updated:

In this article, we’re going to talk about how you can set up your Firestick so that it mirrors what is on your computer screen. We’ll cover any additional hardware needed and their purpose for the different scenarios.

You can use your Firestick on a laptop, but it is not as straightforward of an operation. In fact, you need to download some software in order to make this work and then configure the settings for streaming. A lot has changed since I was younger; technology-wise that is! It used to be so easy plugging our TV into its HDMI port and sitting back with popcorn while we enjoyed entertainment from Netflix or Hulu Plus right there on the screen — now everybody does everything online! That’s why if you want access to all those great movies and shows (and maybe even live sports) through iTunes without having another device taking up space next door in your living room, just get yourself one of these Apple TVs.

What Is A Firestick 

The fire stick is a broadcast device which has HDMI out put.with the cables and adapters,you can connect your laptop to an external monitor so it’s much easier for presentations in front of a large audience or watch movies with friends on big screens instead of tiny laptops.

Features Of A Firestick

The new Fire Stick (3rd Gen) is more powerful than the previous generation it contains: 

  1. An enhanced 1.7 GHz quad-core processor and delivers faster streaming in 1080p at 60fps with HDR compatibility while using less power.
  2.  In addition to that, this device also has Dolby Atmos for immersive sound with compatible content and speakers as well as a voice remote which can control TVs, soundbars or A/V receivers easily thanks to its dedicated buttons such as mute button on top of the controller unit itself. This makes navigation even easier without having to look around too much for physical keys like volume up/down etcetera.

How To Use The Firestick On Laptop

To have a successful connection to Firestick to your smart devices, make sure that the smart device has an High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) input slot. Most of the computers we use now don’t have an High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) input already installed. They come with a standard video output and audio outputs like RCA or headphone jack which is not compatible in this situation because the sound will go out through the regular speakers instead of TV headphones for people watching on their PCs simultaneously as well as splitting up speaker volume levels – making it difficult to distinguish what each person wants at any point when they are near one another (or listening).

The external device required here would be called “HDMI Video Capture Card” which may seem complicated but essentially does just that- takes inputs from our Fire Stick such as HD videos, photos etc.

The steps towards accessing your favorite subscription services are as follows: 

Step 1:Go to Settings

Step 2: Display and Brightness, then turn off the automatic brightness setting.

Step 3: Next, open up a browser window on your laptop with the HDMI input in full screen mode plugged into an HD TV via Fire stick or Chromecast device (if you have one).

 Step 4:Go over settings for that particular video player by clicking TAB > SETTINGS.

Step 5:Find 1080p/720p resolution from “Resolution” dropdown menu at top of page; under Aspect Ratio uncheck 16:9 ratio if desired instead choose 4K UHD format which is 3840×2160 pixel size while leaving 3D movies unchecked.

Step 6: Finally click CONNECT button near bottom left corner of web

Pros Of Using The Firestick On Laptop

  1. In today’s world, it seems like there is a monthly fee for everything. Most people have to pay their cable bill every month or spend $5 on an app that has all the channels they need but those are still just one service and not even what you’re really paying for because you could be using your phone instead. With Firestick TV from Amazon Prime Video App Store, users can watch whatever they want without any extra charges as long as they already subscribe to Netflix or Hulu which both offer free trials lasting either 30 days with no credit card required of 60 days with a minimal charge if canceled before trial expires.The first thing about fire stick tv is its price point: It’s cheaper than other solutions out there in terms of subscription.
