When Fire TV Sticks launched, it came with several Google applications, including the world’s most important content consuming platform YouTube. However, soon after during the digital content war between Amazon and Google, they pulled off the support for YouTube app on Fire TV devices. Then the company forced the users to use the built-in browsers to stream from YouTube. However, that’s an unfinished workaround. But still, you can cast the content from your Android phone to the TV without much hassle.
We hope the tutorial was easy to follow, and you were able to cast from Android to Fire TV stick. You should be able to mirror your phone if you have a casting option available on your phone.
