You can go through the required details below: Cast Android Screen on Amazon Fire TV Stick To cast your Android device’s screen on Fire TV Stick, you need to follow these steps: Before you get started, you need to ensure that both your Fire TV Stick and Android device are on the same network. Further, you need to tap and hold the “Home” button on your fire TV remote for a while. A mini prompt window will appear on your screen. On that window, you need to click on “Mirroring.” Now that you have entered the Mirroring mode, your Android smartphone can easily figure out the Fire TV Stick that’s connected to the same network. Head over to your Android device and then launch the Quick Settings panel and locate “Cast” or “Screen Cast” or “Mirror,” and tap on it to choose your Fire TV Stick. In case your device isn’t showing the “Cast” option, you need to open Settings and locate “Bluetooth and Device Connection.”You will probably find the “Cast” option present there. Once located, you need to open it and choose your Fire TV Stick. Now that your Android device’s screen has been mirrored on your Fire TVStick, you need to always keep in mind that it is relying on Wi-Fi’s Miracast technology and isn’t using Chromecast. So, the quality might not be that pretty, and you might not be able to play the content with the turned-off screen. Yet, the screen orientation, zoom in/out, and audio would no doubt work well.

On your Fire TV’s remote, you need to tap and hold the “Alexa” button and state “AirScreen.” You will be redirected to the AirScreen page, where you need to tap on “Get” in order to install the “AirScreen” app. After installing the app, launch it and tap on “Start.” Note that there’s no need to configure anything. Now, head over to your iOS device and visit the Control Center. Further, you need to click on the option “Screen Mirroring” appearing within the Control Center window. The search process for AirPlay-compatible devices will get initiated. Once your TV gets detected, click on “AS-AFT…”. Your iOS device’s screen will get mirrored on your Fire TV Stick. That’s it.
