Procedure to Screen Mirror Skype on Fire TV
Skype doesn’t have a standalone app for Firestick. If you are still desperate to watch Skype video calls and chats on a big screen, you can try screen mirroring the Skype app to Firestick. Beforehand, connect your Firestick to the same WiFi as your Android device. Additionally, go to Firestick Settings, select Display & Sounds, and click Enable Display Mirroring.
Note: Firestick doesn’t support AirPlay, so you can’t screen mirror Skype directly from an iPhone. If you wish to do so, install a third-party screen mirroring app on Fire TV and set it up as an AirPlay receiver.
- Install Skype on iPhone or Android
Run the Play Store or App Store on a handheld device and get the Skype app. If you are mirroring your iPhone, open a third-party mirroring app (AirScreen) on your Fire TV, enable AirPlay, and keep it running.
- Sign in to your Skype account
Once installed, run the Skype application on your Android or iPhone and sign in to your account with the necessary credentials.
- Join a call
Now, you can join a call via the phone number or initiate a chat with your friends on the Skype app.
- Select the Cast or Screen Mirroring icon
Scroll down the Notification center on an Android device and click the Cast icon. For iPhone, go to your device’s Control Center and tap Screen Mirroring.
- Choose your Fire TV
Select your Fire TV Stick from the list of devices. If the pairing is successful, your device screen will be projected to your Fire TV. This way, you can watch Skype video calls on a big screen.
