How to Screen Mirror on Firestick with Android
When it comes to viewing our media files on the TV, we often find ourselves either transferring those files to the TV or wanting to screen mirror to watch them instantly. In this article, we will explore how you can easily cast your Android screen on the Fire TV to view content.
1. Use the Native Option
The Fire Stick provides a native screen mirroring option that can be found in the settings. To start screen mirroring, simply open the Fire TV Settings from the home page. From there, select the “Display and Sounds” option. Scroll down and choose “Enable Display Mirroring,” which will open a waiting page to start screen mirroring from other devices. It's important to note that you should not leave this page if you want to mirror your phone to the Fire Stick.
On your Android phone, select the cast option in the quick settings panel. If you can't find it there, open your phone's settings and search for “Cast.” Here, you can find your Fire Stick to connect to. Just click on it, and screen mirroring will start within a few seconds. It's that simple! You will be instantly casting your Android screen on the Fire TV.
To turn off the casting, simply turn off the “Cast” button and click on “Disconnect” on the pop-up.
2. Third-Party Apps
If you can't find the cast option on your Android phone or if your device doesn't have this feature, you can use third-party apps to achieve screen mirroring. One such app is Castto, which allows you to find the native cast feature on your phone, as different Android OEMs implement this feature differently with different names. You can download Castto from the Google Play Store.
Another alternative is the Cast to TV app, which allows you to cast pictures, videos, and audio files from your phone. Although it's not a complete screen mirroring solution, it can get the job done when it comes to casting media files. You can also explore other apps available to install on Firestick.

It's worth noting that the casting feature on the Fire Stick does not work with Google Home, unlike Chromecast. However, if you want to use your FireStick with Google Home, you can check out the AirScreen app on the Firestick, which adds your Fire Stick device to the Google Home in the other cast section.
Now that you know how to screen mirror on Firestick with your Android device, you can enjoy your favorite media content on the big screen effortlessly. So go ahead, give it a try, and enrich your viewing experience today!
