This tutorial will show you how to install and use BeeTV on FireStick. The instructions in this guide will work on Fire TV Stick, Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Stick 4K, FireStick 4K Max, All-New FireStick 4K, and All-New FireStick 4K Max.
What is BeeTV?
Bee TV is an unofficial app for streaming free movies and TV shows in HD. Its vast content library includes popular titles, the latest releases, and timeless classics.
Thanks to its lightweight, straightforward interface and ease of use, it is one of the best FireStick apps for streaming on-demand content. It is also compatible with the Fire TV remote.
Like most third-party apps, Bee TV hosts no files or content. Instead, it aggregates streaming links that are publicly available on the internet. You’ll find adequate free links on the platform.
If you prefer premium links, Bee TV integrates seamlessly with premium hosters like Real Debrid. Premium links are more stable and often buffer-free.
Bee TV also supports Trakt integration. You can set up your Trakt account to organize your watchlist and synchronize it across various devices.
Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Is BeeTV Safe & Legal?
Bee TV raises some safety and legal concerns as a third-party streaming app. Unverified apps can sometimes contain malicious files disguised as part of the streaming website files. I scanned the Bee TV APK file on Virus Total to determine its safety.
As you can see in the screenshot below, none of the 66 security vendors found any suspicious files.
The legal status of Bee TV is also complicated. FireStickTricks doesn’t have the resources to determine whether the app is legal. The fact that it offers premium content for free raises a few eyebrows, but we can’t say if it’s legal.
Unofficial apps may contain pirated content. Accessing copyrighted material is a crime and may have serious repercussions. Always use a dependable VPN like ExpressVPN when using third-party apps like BeeTV. The VPN hides your online activities from third parties.

Before you start using your BeeTV on Fire Stick, I want to warn you that everything you stream online is visible to your ISP and Government. Streaming free content (movies, TV shows, Sports) might get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Fire Stick. A VPN helps bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But what if you unintentionally stream content from an illegitimate source? Unfortunately, it is not always easy to distinguish between a legitimate and illegal source.
I use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. So, before you start streaming with BeeTV on Fire Stick, let’s see how to use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.
Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.
Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.
Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.
Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
