Chromecast is not normally supported on your Amazon Fire TV Stick. So that you can still use the Google service on your streaming stick, there is a workaround with an app.
The Google Chromecast protocol quickly transfers content from your mobile phone or PC to your TV. However, the Fire TV Stick does not support Chromecast. Only with the help of the AirScreen app can your TV stick be connected and used via Chromecast.
AirScreen is an official app on the Fire TV Stick. That’s why you can easily find the app using the search bar. In the following step-by-step instructions, we’ll show you how to turn your Amazon stick into a Chromecast receiver using AirScreen.
For screen mirroring to work, the Fire TV Stick and phone must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
If you are sitting at your PC, you can now easily stream a website or the entire Windows 10 desktop to your TV via Chromecast.
If you want to send content from your mobile phone to the Fire TV Stick via Chromecast, you must first download the “Google Home” app onto your phone. You can find this in the Play Store.
Since May 2025, the Fire TV Stick has also supported a Chromecast-like transmission standard with Matter Casting. However, Matter Casting is currently only supported by a few apps – including the Prime Video app.
If your Android phone supports Micracast, you can also simply use the “Duplicate Display” function to cast your phone screen to the Fire TV Stick. iPhone owners can also use AirPlay on the Fire TV.
