How to Mirror your Mac or Macbook screen on Amazon Firestick
Even though Firestick offers the screen mirroring option natively, iOS and Mac devices are still not supported. However, there are workarounds that you can use to mirror your Mac to Firestick. Let's explore some of these options.
AirScreen
AirScreen is one of the most popular apps to mirror both Android and iOS screens to the Firestick. The setup is simple: get the app from the Amazon Store, open it, and run the server on the FireStick. You should then see the option pop up on your Mac. Unlike streaming from an iPhone, you can use your Firestick as a second monitor to play videos while working on your computer.
Pros:
- Easy to use UI
- Quick connection
- Fast feed transfer
Cons:
- Unreliable connection on the Firestick 4K
AirPin Pro
Similar to AirScreen, AirPin Pro allows you to share your screen over AirPlay. It creates and runs the AirPlay receiver in the background, eliminating the need to turn ON the server every time you boot your FireStick. It is great for mirroring your computer screen or using your Firestick as an extended display. The app is paid and costs $4.99, but you can try the free version to see if it works for you.
Pros:
- Local connection feed transfer
- Different modes of AirPlay for video and audio
Cons:
- UI is confusing for first-timers
Mirror for Fire TV
AirPlay is not the only way to mirror your Mac screen to the Firestick. Mirror for Fire TV is another mirroring app that allows you to cast your screen to the TV effortlessly. Install the receiver app on the Firestick and another app on your Mac. It automatically detects your Firestick on the same network and seamlessly streams the footage. Unlike AirScreen and AirPin Pro, you can drop video files from your Mac and play them on the Firestick without much lag. However, it comes with a price tag of $9.99, and you can try it for three minutes before purchasing the paid version.
Pros:
- High-speed local connection
- Dedicated channel for playing videos
Cons:
- Requires installation on both devices
Splashtop
If you're serious about mirroring your computer to your TV, consider trying Splashtop. It is a popular remote mirroring app that allows you to cast your screen to the TV and control your Mac from the TV. However, you would need to connect a keyboard and mouse using a splitter cable. Splashtop is a legitimate option to mirror your Mac screen to the Fire TV Stick, but it can't be installed natively. You can get it from Aptoide TV.
Pros:
- Secure connection
- Allows remote control of Mac from TV
- Easy UI
Cons:
- Requires additional hardware to work as a remote solution
- Doesn't work without the internet
Alternatively, you can use the TeamViewer client to remotely log in to your Mac from your Firestick. It works similarly to Splashtop and allows you to see the Mac screen and control everything on it. You can get it on the Aptoide TV app.
These are some of the best apps that let you view your Mac screen on the big screen. AirScreen and AirPin Pro are efficient and available on the Amazon Store. Splashtop is great for controlling your Mac from the TV. Which app do you use to mirror your Mac screen to the Firestick? Let us know in the comments below.
