🔥 HOW TO CONNECT ANY FIRESTICK TO PC/LAPTOP EASY!🔥

[@DietraJones]

This was by far, simple and easy to follow. Thank you for keep it simple. It wasn't "rough around the edges" to me. It was exactly what I needed.

[@CordCuttersLI]

Great to hear!

[@OldEnglishLady]

Very simple indeed. I'm an old lady and I got it right first time using these instructions, no stress and no time wasted!

[@brewpounders]

Thanks! Very easy to follow and worked great. Thank you!

[@CordCuttersLI]

Great to hear, and thank you for the support! 😀

[@jahragon1]

This is the best video I’ve seen on this. I’ve tried so many times. You explained the video, audio, and fullscreen. Amazing, thank you

[@CordCuttersLI]

@jahragon1 It's a USB Video Capture device, but not just any one. You must get the one I link you to in the description of this video. Many look the same but do not work. Thanks!

[@timcolton4680]

Fantastic, never considered this a possibility, Thank You

[@ashoks2411]

Incredible! Thanks for making it sound so easy!

Thank you so much for this video! I had never seen how to use it on my computer, but what a great tutorial you left us with. Again, thank you so much!❤❤❤

[@CordCuttersLI]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Please do share it with any of your friends that might be interested. 😁😁

Great video. It was very easy to follow the instructions. Now I can use my firestick on my laptop. Thank you!!!

[@twalrus1]

Your instructions are easy to follow so I subscribed for more.

[@rochm]

Thank you this was perfect worked the first time without a glich. Well done.

[@terrycasson]

Thank you for the full in depth tutorial. Worked a treat and really appreciated. Just one question if I can please. Have successfully done recordings but the sound has a very hollow/echo effect on playback. Are there any audio settings you could suggest please. 😊

[@CordCuttersLI]

If you have an echo sound, you may have more than one audio device enable in the Audio Mixer section of OBS. (Maybe the Webcam's audio is enabled?)

[@terrycasson]

Hi. Thanks so much for getting back in touch. I had a look in to see if there were any further audio sources involved. However something has happened where I now cannot see the firestick screen within OBS. Have tried everything and no joy. Even uninstalled OBS and installed afresh but still nothing. Tried another firestick but still nothing. Although there was nothing showing in the screen the firestick was working as when clicking on the remote, I he next thing I knew was an email thanking me for subscribing to Paramount+ 😂 I have noticed though that the video capture device was hot so not sure if that is the issue. Thanks again for coming back. It’s really appreciated. 😊

[@flynhyer4445]

Thanx for the vid. I have a capture connected to each computer, but couldnt figure out how to record. Thanx again.

[@CordCuttersLI]

That's great! Have fun with it! ...and please share with a friend or two. I'm knocking on the door of 100,000 subscribers, and you can help me get there. 🍻

[@rayro999]

I have similar setup with desktop and 4k capture card. It records in MKV format but OBS has a remux feature to quickly convert to mp4 format within the program if that's what you need

[@CordCuttersLI]

I just have mine set to record to .mp4

[@rayro999]

@@CordCuttersLI Thanks for your reply. That setting wasn't, as far as i'm aware, available in my software when i installed it a couple of years ago. Will check again. Either I missed it or it's available in an update.

[@paulbush-i6g]

Looks So simple, time to buy a capture card to test!!!..Quick question, with OBS, can you output to a external SSD connected to your laptop via USB? Or is it advisable to do that after recording your stream?

[@Powerfade54]

This is very interesting. I would like to know how good is the quality of the sound in the recording playback. Btw, you do know you can connect your device to your pc wirelessly. The only thing is your device must be Android 11 or higher to transmit the sound.

[@covenantgiantcommunication3183]

Great video to explain it easily, is it possible to sync your volume toggle button on the firestick remote to the PC?

[@arnelmagdangal]

Thank you for this. I've been wondering if this can be done.

[@NFLReject]

Hello, using the same set up you described in your video (great by the way) to get Firestick to run on your computer, can you run a dual monitor in/out adapter so you can run an HMDI cable to a hotel TV (to mirror what you're watching on the computer)? Some hotels are blocking things like Firestick and I'm trying to find a work around. Thanks

[@franksouter3939]

just by this video alone I subscribed. 👌

[@CordCuttersLI]

Thank you!

[@TH_ENTERPRISE]

The volume button don’t work on the remote I can hear but can’t adjust with remote…is there a fix for that?

[@CordCuttersLI]

You can use the Volume slider in the OBS in the "Audio Mixer" section.

[@umeshmalhotra9432]

Me ttooo

[@andy70d35]

Nice option, is the sound quality bad? Just it sounded real bad when you had the firestick working, thank you.

[@CordCuttersLI]

No, the sound was bad because I was wearing a wireless microphone. The sound is as good as your computer's sound is. Great question ! Thanks for watching!

[@futbol56933]

We need this precise adaptator or a simple micro usb hub with HDMI output is ok ?

[@CordCuttersLI]

Yes, you need this exact adapter. There are likely other USB capture devices that may work, but most do not. I tested several before finding this one, so you don't have to. 👍 Most of the USB hubs with HDMI port are "outputs" not "inputs" because the average person uses them to add a second display to their computer.

[@macemace3194]

You're the man! Thank you for the FYI!

[@CordCuttersLI]

Thank YOU!

[@alexkhoury480]

Your instructions were very clear and easy and helpful, just a question my sound isn’t working, and under audio mixer, the video capture device isn’t listed like yours was, was wondering if you or anyone knew why?

[@CordCuttersLI]

Send me an email. I have a couple of optional settings that might help, but it's a bit too much to type here in comments. [e-mail]

[@CordCuttersLI]

You know who may not like it much, but yes. They still work.

[@One-Day-After-Another]

So I have a question: Say you're watching an app on your browser and you screen record using OBS vs using the capture card through OBS.... is the capture card beneficial over screen recording? Or if using the capture card... does it take the stress of the computer while recording?

[@geraldolavin5363]

Thanks, what is the name of the device that you used to plug in your Fire device? Need to get one

[@KevinScolaroMBA]

Simple video. I've been using OBS for awhile and am glad to see that I can use it for my new firetv stick too. However, I could not get it set up because I didn't have the option listed for USB video. I have the USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter and plugged the USB port into my laptop. I then plugged the FireTV stick into he adapter and plugged in the power of the FireTV stick into the power outlet and the FireTV stick. What would be causing the USB Video choice to not be visible in the Video Capture Device settings box? I only have the choice for Intergrated Webcam and OBS Virtual Camera. My laptop is running Windows 11 (up to date) and OBS 30.0.2 64 bit.

[@CordCuttersLI]

I have tried many USB Capture devices that didn't work. As I said in the video, the one I link you to is proven to work. I've already had a dozen people tell me they're using a different one and didn't work. They returned them and got the one in my link and it works.

[@htfdlouissirois]

I enjoyed your video like you mentioned the video is a little rough around the edges, it would have been nice if you had the camera zoomed in a little bit and actually went a little bit slower and showed exactly what you tapped to get started I'm new at using a laptop or computer keyboard but anyways thank you for the video I enjoyed, I actually tried to plug my fire stick into my laptop a few months ago before I watched your video, it didn't work, thank you for solving my problem. Stay safe and, thank you.

[@scotty2167]

Great video and very informative as always thanks mate 👍

[@grampi68]

Very interesting! I have been thinking about this lately, and now this video. Can I assume that a Roku stick will also work the same way. What about using a Roku Express? As you can see, I am a Roku fan as I have and use 3 on 3 different TV's. Yes, I want to run a Roku device on my Win 10 PC. Thanks for this great advice.

Great video. I am having the same problem as @terrycasson with the audio. Video is great but audio is bad. What are the correct settings for the audio? I have played around with the audio settings with no improvement. I am using a FireStick connected to a Lenovo laptop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@CordCuttersLI]

On my laptop, I left all the settings to their defaults except for the specific changes I showed in the video, but it could be that your laptop has more options for audio and/or input device settings... If you send me an email with pic what your settings look like for audio devices, I'll take a look. I may need to make a quick webpage with pictures so everyone knows specifically which settings to use: [e-mail]

[@CordCuttersLI]

@andystratton100 The easiest way would be to just lower the volume of your laptop speakers. There is also a volume slider in the middle bottom of the OBS screen, but, that will also affect the recording volume if you plan to save.

[@andystratton100]

@@CordCuttersLI Thank you - turned out there was a problem with the volume on the laptop, but all sorted now.

Does this trick serve as a workaround in order to watch streaming services in 4k HDR on PC?

[@BirdOfPrey-sl8lo]

Great Video Very Much Appreciated - I have down loaded OBS 30.2.3 and it has had one extra step - it has done a streaming test so i assume it need to see the fire stick - looks like a chicken and an egg thing - i cant get past this streaming test to finalise the installation - any advice warmly received.

Im curious if a usb hub with a built-in HDMI port could be used instead of the capture device? Has anyone tried it by chance?

[@CordCuttersLI]

Great question. No. those are typically HDMI Outputs for a second display on a computer. And even if it were an input, there's no guarantee it would work for this specifically. The specific capture card I link you to in the description has been tested and proven to work. I had to try several before finding one that did. Good Luck and thanks for asking!

When i click on “properties” and “device” the only 2 options are “USB3.0 Capture” and “integrated webcam” . I cannot get the firestick home page to show in background. II do not have the option for “usb video”

[@CordCuttersLI]

Hmm, Did you buy the exact device I liked to in the description of the video, which is a USB 2.0? I'm going to assume the correct option would be "USB3.0 Capture", if you bought a slightly different one and yours is USB 3.0. That said, It may be hard to tell because the specific device I linked to is one that is proven to work with Firesticks. Some other will not show a display because of the DMCA restrictions. The one I linked bypasses this. Some others do not. Have you tried selecting 'USB3.0" and does it work? If not, you could try plugging something else with an HDMI output into your capture device (if you have one), to see if it works. Good Luck! Please let me know how you make out.

[@anon-kq3md]

You probably bought the usb 3.0 version, on the right for $19.99. The 2,0 version is on the left for $15.99.

Does HDCP prevent some devices from working at full HD? Also is there a 4K version??

[@CordCuttersLI]

Great Question! No. This specific capture device has no issues with HDCP (use my link tho. Many others look like this, but don't work). Every device I've tried, and the list is long, has worked for me with this one. The only 4K versions I've tested and liked are quite expensive, made by Elgato. However, those DO require a HDMI Splitter to deal with HDCP when used with the FireTV devices. GoogleTV and AndroidTV devices don't seem to mind.
