Cast to a Fire TV or Firestick

  • ~ minute read

You can choose to use VidAngel on your Fire TV or Firestick by casting to it from our Apple or Android mobile app.

NOTE: Amazon made some changes. Go HERE if you're not able to cast from your Android phone. 

Before starting the casting process, make sure you have the most updated version of our app on your mobile device and that your mobile device is on the same WIFI as your Fire device, (see Cast to your TV from the mobile app).

Watching on a Fire Device

After the movie starts on your TV, you will be able to control the movie using your phone or you can use the Fire device's remote. You can even close the VidAngel app on your phone and it will continue to play.

If you want to disconnect from the TV you can easily do this by tapping on "Disconnect" in the VidAngel mobile app.
