A Firestick works with any projector that has an HDMI input — which includes the vast majority of modern home cinema and portable projectors. The setup is essentially the same as connecting to a TV.
Will a Firestick Work with My Projector?
If your projector has an HDMI input, a Firestick will work with it. Most projectors manufactured after 2010 have HDMI. Some older models use VGA or composite inputs only — these are not directly compatible with a Firestick without an adapter (adapters exist but quality varies).
What You Need
- A projector with an HDMI input
- The Fire TV Stick (any model)
- A mains power socket for the USB adapter
- A Wi-Fi connection in the room
How to Connect a Firestick to a Projector
- Plug the Firestick into the HDMI port on the projector
- Connect the USB power cable to the Firestick and plug into a mains adapter and wall socket
- Turn on the projector and set the input source to the HDMI port
- The Firestick will boot and appear on the projected image
- Complete setup (Wi-Fi, Amazon account) as normal
Audio from a Projector Setup
If your projector has built-in speakers, the Firestick audio will play through them via HDMI. If you want better sound, connect a Bluetooth speaker via the Firestick's Bluetooth settings: Settings > Controllers & Bluetooth Devices > Other Bluetooth Devices > Add Bluetooth Devices.
Powering the Firestick with a Projector
Some projectors have USB ports. As with TVs, avoid using a projector USB port to power the Firestick — it may not supply enough power. Use the included mains USB adapter instead.
Portable Projectors
Portable projectors with HDMI work with Firesticks. If the projector has USB-A power output rated at 5V/1A or more, you may be able to power the Firestick from it — check the projector's USB port specifications. Portable projectors also need to connect to Wi-Fi for the Firestick to stream content.
For streaming at home with a good IPTV subscription, a Firestick connected to a projector delivers an excellent large-screen experience. FirestickHub packages include a 1-Year IPTV subscription with 25,000+ live channels.
