To get the most out of your TV experience, make sure you have a power outlet close by and a USB cord that reaches it. ..
The Fire TV Stick can be controlled in two ways: with your voice or the remote itself. The home screen defaults to Prime TV content, but you can also continue watching without navigating to a different app. The Fire TV Stick can be used as a traditional streaming device, or it can be used as a dedicated media player for watching movies and television shows.
Voice Control
-To play music from your phone: Alexa, ask “play music from my phone.” -To pause the movie: Alexa, ask “paused movie.” -To fast forward the movie: Alexa, ask “forward movie.”
Alexa, find 4K content for me.
“Alexa, rewind one minute.”
“The weather is hot and humid.”
You can ask Alexa to open any app, pause, play, rewind, and fast-forward content. Of course, all of Alexa’s regular features are still accessible through the Fire TV Stick; you can ask for nearby places to eat, a news briefing, and more. You can also play voice games with Alexa, like Jeopardy, provided those are enabled within the Alexa app.
Netflix, Hulu, Funimation, CNN+, and more can be streamed through the Fire Stick. Additionally, Alexa-compatible smart security cameras can be streamed straight to your TV.
Remote
The remote includes shortcut buttons for access to Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu. However, you can browse through a full app store full of options.
If you can’t find the app you want, just ask Alexa to search for it. For example, if you can’t find Netflix by searching the traditional way, just say, “Alexa, open Netflix.” This will take you to the download page for the app.
To use the voice commands, you have to press and hold the Alexa Voice button on the remote. If you only press it once, it will bring up a menu showing the different ways you can use Alexa on the Fire Stick—a helpful feature for first-time users.
The best option for streaming content is the Fire TV Stick 4K. It provides access to the highest-quality streams, but if you don’t care about 4K content (or you’re trying to preserve bandwidth), a less-expensive 1080p option will still provide the same content, just at a lower resolution. ..
