Connecting Amazon Fire TV Stick to Laptop

Streaming new series and movies can sweeten your evening. But what can you do if you're on the road or don't have a TV to watch them on? In this case, simply fall back on the Amazon Fire TV Stick and your laptop.

How to connect the Fire TV Stick to your laptop

If your laptop has an HDMI input, you have the option to pair your Amazon Fire TV Stick.

1. So you can only use the stick if you have an HDMI input. However, most laptops only have an HDMI output.
2. If your device has such an input, you can plug in the TV stick.
3. However, it is not possible to access the content directly. This is because the signals are not programmed for laptops, but for smart TVs.
4. If you want to decrypt and use the signal, you must first install a converter and run it permanently to receive the signal. Alternatively, you can also convert individual movies as well as series.
5. The fact that the signal must not only be received, but also converted, can lead to a deterioration in picture and sound quality.

Why not take the easy way?

Don't forget that you can open all content directly on your laptop. To do so, simply log in to your Prime account and continue watching your movies and series at the point where you paused with the Amazon Fire TV Stick.
