Changing the hardware acceleration and rendering settings did improve the image slightly, so you’ll probably want to mess with things if you try the app yourself.

I did notice that casting a Google Play Movie from an Android phone to AirScreen resulted in a slightly poorer video than was being played on the phone. The app has a fairly extensive set of options. The quality of the recording is a bit poor, resulting in a very soft video image, but it seems to work pretty well. The last protocol that AirScreen supports is DLNA, which is another one I did not test myself but I have no doubt that it will work based on my Android and iOS experience with the app.Īs if supporting all of these casting protocols wasn’t enough, the app is also able to locally record what you cast to the Fire TV.

This is the casting protocol that Windows PCs use so you should be able to cast your entire Windows screen to the Fire TV with this app. I did not test it myself, but the app also says it supports Miracast.

The Fire TV also showed up as an AirPlay device on a Mac in macOS’s display settings which allowed me to mirror the Mac’s screen. On the Apple side of the casting spectrum, I was able to mirror the screen of an iPhone onto the Fire TV using AirPlay. What also worked fine was casting a Chrome browser tab using its built-in casting capabilities. I suspect the app will also work for casting YouTube TV (the paid cable subscription service, not the video sharing site), making it the only real way to watch YouTube TV on a Fire TV.Ĭasting the entire screen of an Android phone to the Fire TV worked with AirScreen using Android’s built-in casting feature under the operating system’s advanced display settings. I was able to use several Google Cast enabled apps, as well as play movies from Google Play Movies, which is something most casting apps I’ve tried in the past have failed to do because of DRM restrictions. AirScreen has been available in the Google Play Store for over 2 years with over 100,000 users, so perhaps it will last in the Amazon Appstore as well.ĪirScreen’s Google Cast functionality worked surprisingly well during my limited testing. AirScreen’s support for Google Cast is unique because all past Fire TV apps that replicated Chromecast functionality have eventually been removed from the appstore. There are numerous casting apps available for Fire TV devices, but this is the first I’ve seen that works with such a wide array of protocols.

It also supports Miracast, which is what Windows PCs use for screen mirroring, as well as DLNA. It supports Google Cast so it works exactly like a Chromecast and supports Apple AirPlay, so it works like an Apple TV for iPhone casting.

It is compatible with all Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, and Fire TV Edition television models and makes it possible to cast videos and your entire screen to your Fire TV from an Android device, iOS device, Mac, or Windows PC. A new app called AirScreen has just arrived in the Amazon Appstore for Fire TV devices that adds support for all the major casting protocols.
