Want to cast your videos and pictures to FireStick? You have come to the right place. In this article, I’ll show you how to install the famous Video & TV Cast app on FireStick. The app is called TV Cast for Fire TV on the Amazon Store. I’ll also share how to set it up with a mini demonstration.

What Is Video & TV Cast
If you mirror your device screen to play media on your phone, you may have experienced compromised video quality, buffering, and lagging. Mirroring your phone engages it the whole time and will not let you browse other apps as well.
Here, Video & TV Cast, also known as the TV Cast for Fire TV app, comes to the rescue.
Video & TV Cast lets you cast any video wirelessly via your smartphone to your Fire TV. Thus, you can enjoy video content without compromising quality or being interrupted.
It is a unique app tailored to help Fire TV devices get the best casting experience that can work with various devices.
Once you cast your screen on the device, you can play video from your mobile, explore the internet simultaneously, and use other apps on your phone.
With Video & TV Cast, you can use your TV remote to perform simple tasks like changing the volume or fast-forwarding and rewinding videos.
TV Cast is the leading casting app, with over One hundred million downloads across multiple platforms. You can cast up to 4K quality videos through your device without lag, stuttering, or other issues (provided you have a decent internet connection).
Attention FireStick Users
Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie-viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.
I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Pricing of Video & TV Cast
There are two versions of Video & TV Cast, free and paid.
The free version of TV Cast comes with limited features. For instance, you’ll need to watch ads to cast videos, and there’s no ad blocker when playing videos from the website, etc.
On the other hand, the paid version of Video & TV Cast costs under $5. Note that the app’s price varies for Android and iOS versions, and there is often a discount to help you save some bucks.
The paid version has unlimited features such as playback / remote, unlimited personal media, ad-blocker, bookmarks, desktop mode, and more.
I recommend trying the accessible version of the app. If it meets your expectations, purchase the paid variant to make your casting experience more convenient.
