However, with Windows PC and Android devices, no extra third party app is needed. You’ll have to download a third party app Airscreen on both Fire TV and your Apple device. So screen mirroring Apple devices to the Fire TV isn’t supported natively.
Also look out for older android phones with Jellybean and older and Windows devices that do not support Wireless Display (WiDi). Now iPhone, iPads and Macbooks generally don’t support Miracast that Fire Stick Supports. Android devices and Windows PCs use WiFi Alliance-backed standard called Miracast to share content wirelessly between devices.
For instance Apple devices use the proprietary Apple Airplay to share content between iPhone/iPad/Mac to Apple TV and select devices. It often doesn’t work out of the box thanks to conflicting standards supported across different devices and platforms. This could come in handy for a movie night with your buddies. The other common scenario is when you want to watch local content, for instance a movie stored on your computer hard drive on a big screen. For instance, you wish to show a presentation from your smartphone or laptop to a big screen TV. This can be helpful in certain situations where you want to display your screen on a bigger display.
Well, Screen Mirroring displays your device’s entire screen on a secondary display such as a monitor or Smart TV. So why would you want to screen mirror your device to Fire TV? Fire TV even has a built-in browser that you can use to browse and view web content of any content provider just in case they don’t have a native app. The platform supports most popular streaming services such as Youtube, Netflix, Prime video, IMDB TV, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+ and several others. Fire TV Stick streaming devices and smart TVs are one of the most widely supported devices.
