Steps to AirPlay to Firestick Using AirScreen
Usually, Firestick devices don’t have built-in AirPlay support. However, you can install a third-party application like AirScreen on Firestick to set it up as an AirPlay receiver. The AirScreen app is natively available on the Amazon Appstore, so you can install it directly and use it without a subscription.
On the other hand, if you’re using a Fire TV, the AirPlay feature is available in the settings menu. So, you can seamlessly display video or audio content from your Apple devices to Fire TV via AirPlay. Meanwhile, the section below demonstrates the procedure for accessing AirPlay on Firestick and Fire TV.
- Open Appstore
Press the Home key on the Fire TV remote. On the main page, scroll to the right and highlight the Appstore icon. Once highlighted, press OK on the Fire TV remote.

Type AirScreen in the search field and search for the app. Tap the AirScreen icon below the Apps & Games section.

On the AirScreen app description, click Get/Download to begin the installation process. Upon installing the app, click Open to launch it.

Once the AirScreen app’s home page appears, navigate to Settings and enable AirPlay.

Steps to AirPlay to Fire TV
