How to Install TeaTV on FireStick (2025)

In this tutorial, I will show you how to install Tea TV on FireStick. The steps in the guide apply to all the Fire TV devices, including Fire TV Stick 4K, 4K Max, Fire Stick Lite, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube.

What is Tea TV?

Tea TV is a third-party video-on-demand streaming app with added live TV functionality. Tea TV allows you to watch popular movies, trending TV shows, classic documentaries, news channels, and more for free.

Unlike official all-in-one entertainment apps, Tea TV doesn’t host any content. Instead, it uses high-quality scrapers to find publicly available streaming links to your favorite films, dramas, and live channels.

Tea TV offers free streaming links and functionality to add premium providers like Real Debrid. Such premium hosters host 4K streams on high-speed servers so that you can enjoy UHD-quality content.

Inside Tea TV, you’ll find the following sub-sections:

• Discover
• Movies
• TV Shows
• HD Releases
• Calendar
• Live TV
• Category
• Watchlist
• Collection
• Recent
• Download Manager
• Setting
• Check Update

Tea TV provides content and live TV streaming under one hood, making it one of the best apps for a jailbroken FireStick. It is also included to our list of the best apps for FireStick.

Features of Tea TV

Here are some features of the app:

Is Tea TV Safe and Legal?

We cannot confirm Tea TV’s safety and legality as it is unavailable on the Amazon app store.

FireStickTricks.com lacks the resources to determine whether Tea TV is safe for your streaming device. Fortunately, the results looked convincing when Tea TV APK files were scanned using Virus Total.

Only one error is found in the Tea TV APK code. Please refer to the screenshot below:

Legality is another concern for Tea TV, as the platform fetches streaming links from multiple public domains. FireStickTricks has no resources to scrutinize links found by Tea TV’s built-in scrapers.

That leads us to only one option: using a high-quality VPN to safely and securely stream your favorite content on Tea TV. ExpressVPN looks like the best solution.

Install TeaTV on FireStick Using Downloader – Recommended Method

Tea TV is a third-party app that is not available on the Amazon Store. Therefore, it must be sideloaded onto your FireStick device.

Unlike regular Android mobiles or tablets, FireStick doesn’t let you download the APKs directly through popular browsers. You must sideload the app through the Downloader app. In this section, we will cover the sideloading of apps with Downloader.

 Legal Disclaimer: This tutorial is purely educational. FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, operate, resell, or distribute any streaming apps, addons, websites, IPTV or services. The page contains some unverified services, and we are not certain whether they hold legal licenses to distribute the content. FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality of each app/service in all regions. Do your due diligence if you use any of the unverified apps/services, and stream only content that is available in the public domain. The end-user shall be solely responsible for the media accessed. 

Preparing FireStick to Sideload Tea TV with Downloader

Before installing Tea TV, you must install Downloader via the Amazon App Store. Then, tweak the settings to let Downloader install APKs on your Fire TV.

For detailed steps, please follow our guide on sideloading apps on FireStick. Here are the quick steps:

1. Go to your FireStick home screen and select Find > Search. Then, look up Downloader and click on it. Then, open the Downloader’s dashboard and click Get/Download.

2. Open Settings from the FireStick home screen (the menu bar at the top). Then, click My Fire TV. After that, open 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.

Sideloading Tea TV with Downloader

You will need The Downloader app frequently for sideloading. I recommend to create its shortcut on the home screen for quick access.

1. Launch Downloader and click the text field on the right side of its Home screen (the app opens with the left Home tab selected by default).

2. Type in firesticktricks.com/tea when the onscreen keyboard appears and click GO.

Note: FireStickTricks.com does not host any APK files on its server. The above URL downloads the APK from the source. We are not associated with the developers. 

Note: After installing Tea TV, you may follow these steps again and install TPlayer using the URL firesticktricks.com/tplayer.

3. The Downloader app will connect to the server URL it is pointing to and begin downloading the TeaTV APK on FireStick.

4. After downloading the APK, the Downloader app initiates the installation. On the next screen, a prompt asks you to confirm whether you wish to install TeaTV on FireStick. Click Install.

5. Wait for TeaTV to get installed on your FireStick.

6. Installing TeaTV on FireStick will take a few moments. When done, the following window will display with the App Installed confirmation.

TeaTV is installed. You can click Open to run it, but I suggest clicking Done so you can return to the Downloader app and delete the TeaTV APK.

7. Click Delete.

Note: Why delete the APK? The APK is useless after the app is installed. Deleting unnecessary files clears up FireStick storage.

8. Click Delete again to confirm the previous action.

This is how you use the Downloader app to sideload TeaTV on FireStick.

Streaming Content on Tea TV Safely

Before you start streaming with TeaTV on your Fire Stick, I want to warn you that everything you stream on TeaTV is visible to your ISP and Government. In addition, streaming copyrighted content (free movies and TV shows) might get you into legal trouble.

A VPN, a.k.a. Virtual Private Network, can hide your online streaming/browsing activities. It helps bypass ISP throttling, Government Surveillance, and content geo-restrictions.

Note: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But what if you unintentionally stream content from an illegitimate source? It is not always easy to distinguish between a legitimate and illegal source.

I am using ExpressVPN on my Fire Stick, mobile, and PC. After trying several paid and free VPNs, I can say that ExpressVPN is the fastest and most secure VPN. Here’s how to start using ExpressVPN on your FireStick and 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.

Note: If your FireStick model shows Apps from Unknown Sources after clicking Developer Options, please ensure it is turned on.

Once done, launch TeaTV.

Let’s now run the TeaTV app on FireStick. When you open the app for the first time, you must Allow TeaTV to access photos, media, and files on your device.

ES File Explorer is another app used as a sideloader for FireStick. Again, you can download this app from the Amazon Store. Just look for the Search option on the FireStick home screen.

Note: ES File Explorer does not offer the sideloading feature for free. You need to pay $9.99 per month. Use the Downloader app if it is available in your region. It is free. You may ignore this section if you have already installed Tea TV using the Downloader method outlined above.

Furthermore, you may install the unofficial version of ES File Explorer to enjoy all the premium features for free. 

After installing ES File Explorer, follow the steps below:
