Amazon Fire TV Stick Overview

MEET THE AMAZON FIRE TV STICK

The Amazon Fire TV Stick helps connect you to your favorite content, from TV shows and movies to websites like Facebook and Reddit, on virtually any TV—no smart TV interface needed.

The included Alexa Voice Remote can control compatible TV, sound bars, and receivers with power, volume, and mute buttons. You can also easily find, launch, and control movies and TV shows using your voice. Simply press and hold the microphone button on the remote and ask Alexa to find what you want to watch, from specific movies and shows, to recommendations. Just ask, “Alexa, find comedies” to find something to watch for movie night.

STREAM ON THE BIG SCREEN

The Amazon Fire TV Stick is super easy to set up: plug it into the HDMI port in your TV, follow the instructions, and you’ll be up and running in minutes, streaming content from your favourite services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Disney+ (subscriptions required). Easily download the free app to your Fire TV Stick then start streaming.

Using the Alexa remote, which comes with the TV Stick, you can easily find content you are looking for, whether it’s a specific TV episode or live news, from a variety of connected services and apps.

If you prefer to use physical buttons over voice, the Voice Remote, as noted, has power and volume buttons, providing an additional means of intuitive control.

GET MORE CONTENT WITH PRIME

Did you know that if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can get instant access to Amazon Prime Video movies and shows at no extra cost? Just log into your Amazon Prime account and stream away, from award-winning originals like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Man in the High Castle, as well as other popular movies, TV shows, and more.

With an Amazon Prime membership, you can watch content on any device and subscribe to premium channels and apps, as well as access Amazon music. There’s no long-term commitment with a Prime membership—you can sign up for an annual subscription or pay month-to-month.

For other streaming services, most offer a free trial of anywhere from 7 days up to 30, so you can try them out before committing, and cancel any time.

CONTROL YOUR SMART HOME

The Amazon Fire TV Stick isn’t just for watching your favorite shows and movies. You can connect compatible smart home devices to Fire TV, and use your Alexa Voice Remote to easily dim the lights, check live camera feeds, turn down up the thermostat, and more.  For example, with a connected smart home camera, you can easily check on the nursery, backyard, or front door live feeds from the comfort of your couch.  Just press the microphone button on your Alexa Voice Remote, and say, “Alexa, show me the nursery.”
