How to Install SStream on FireStick for Free Movies & Shows

This tutorial demonstrates how to install SStream on FireStick. The steps will work in any Fire TV device, including the FireStick Lite, 3rd Generation Fire TV Stick, All-New FireStick 4k, All-New FireStick 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube.

What is SStream?

SStream is a third-party app for streaming movies and TV shows. It is supported on Android-based devices like smartphones, FireStick, and Android TV. You can also use it on a PC by installing an emulator software like BlueStacks.

Like most free VOD streaming apps, SStream sources its content from public movie and TV show services like Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and The Movie Database (TMDB).

SStream doesn’t host any content on its servers. Instead, it scrapes free streams on the internet.

The app integrates with download services like Real Debrid and Premiumize. These services let you access high-quality links that enhance your streaming experience. SStream also supports Trakt, which helps organize your watchlist.

SStream lacks an inbuilt media player. However, it works fine with external players like MX Player and VLC. The app also works with a jailbroken FireStick.

Is SStream Safe and Legal?

Third-party apps raise safety red flags. Some contain malicious files, such as adware, malware, and viruses, which may harm your devices or steal your personal data. I scanned SStream’s official URL for malicious files.

The website is clean, as confirmed by 90 security vendors in the screenshot below:

Regarding the legal aspect, SStream is a free streaming app that offers movies and TV shows, including those only available on premium services. That’s a legal red flag.

FireStickTricks can’t verify SStream’s legal standing because it depends on various factors. These include content sources, legal agreements and licenses, and a country’s copyright laws.

I discourage any form of piracy and copyright infringement. I recommend using a VPN when streaming content on unofficial apps like SStream. A VPN hides your streaming history and helps dodge censorship. ExpressVPN is a superb VPN for FireStick, with incredible speeds and military-grade encryption technology.

Features of SStream

Here are some of the top features of the app:

• Free movies and TV shows
• Integration with Real Debrid, All Debrid, and Premiumize
• Support for Trakt and TMDB that help you discover content
• Personalized user interface with customizable themes and widgets
• Supports OpenSubtitles for foreign movie fans
• Seamless integration with external media players like MX and VLC Players
• Voice search on supported devices

SStream is a third-party app, so it’s unavailable on the Amazon App Store. The only way to install it on FireStick is through sideloading.

Sideloading entails two steps: preparing the FireStick to install apps from unknown sources and installing the app using a downloader app.

Part 1: Prepare the FireStick to Install SStream APK

To install SStream APK on FireStick, you need to take two important steps.

• First, you need to install the Downloader, an official app that lets you install other apps on FireStick.
• Second, you must change the developer options to let your device install apps from external sources.

We have a detailed guide on installing the Downloader app and using it to sideload apps on FireStick. If you already have the Downloader app and developer settings set up, skip to Part 2.

Otherwise, here’s a nutshell of how to prepare the FireStick to install SStream APK

1. From the Fire TV home screen, click Find>Search. Type Downloader on the on-screen keyboard and select Downloader on the search results. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the app.

2. Return to the Fire TV home screen and click Settings. Navigate to My Fire TV > Developer Options.

You will see one of the following two options depending on your FireStick device version:

• Option 1 - Install Unknown Apps: Click it and proceed to the next step to enable Downloader.
• Option 2 - Apps from Unknown Sources: Click this option and then click Turn On on the following prompt. Skip the next step.

3. Turn ON the Downloader if you see the following screen.

Your FireStick is ready to install SStream APK.

Follow these steps to sideload SStream APK on FireStick using the Downloader app:

That’s all. The SStream app is ready to launch. You can access it from your list of downloaded apps.

Your FireStick / Fire TV is now all ready to stream your favorite content. However, before you start, I would like to warn you that everything you stream online is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming free 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 will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and is very easy to install on Fire TV / Stick.

We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

So, before you start streaming on your Fire Stick / Fire TV, 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.
