This guide shows how to install Zeam or VUiT on FireStick. VUit is a free legal app that offers 200+ channels on your FireStick. The steps in this article work on all Amazon Fire TV products, including FireStick 4K and 4K Max, FireStick Lite, and Fire TV Cube. First, I’ll briefly summarize what you can expect from the app.
What Is Zeam (Formerly Vuit)?
Zeam is a FireStick app that provides about 200 local and national channels across many domains. On Zeam, you can stream documentaries, as well as watch the news, sports, and business programs.
Only a few local news apps on the Amazon App Store offer HD resolution and a wide range of channels. Most of these channels require a premium membership to access their content. However, setting aside $50 monthly for premium apps is not cost-effective for an average-income household. This is where the free Zeam App comes into play. The app relies on ads, so you won’t have to pay to watch your live shows.
Zeam is easy to use. You won’t need to spend time searching for the most recent news stories because its user-friendly interface allows you to access on-demand news clips in a section dedicated to this. It also offers simple navigation from one channel to the next. Zeam suggests programs and channels to watch based on previous viewing habits. Plus, its Nearby Channel Suggestions feature gets you to relevant channels based on location.
The app now includes video replay, so if you missed something important during its live broadcast, you can watch it again. Alternatively, the recently watched feature can help you find things you may want to see again.
For FireStick Users
ISPs, hackers, and other third-party entities worldwide may monitor your online activities. For security, privacy, and smooth streaming, it is recommended to use a reliable VPN for FireStick. Your IP address is visible to sites you visit.
I recommend ExpressVPN, a fast and secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including an 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 73% on the 2-year plan.

How to Use Zeam/Vuit on FireStick?
The Zeam app is entirely plug-and-play, making it simple to use. You can access your favorite content in minutes.
If you intend to use Zeam frequently, add it to the home screen as a shortcut. Press and hold the home button on the FireStick remote until a menu appears on your FireStick screen. Choose the Apps button on the menu. Please scroll to the Zeam tile, but don’t select it. Press the options button (three horizontal lines) on your remote, then choose Move to Front. Now, VUit will appear on your FireStick’s home screen.

The welcome screen is the Home tab. It features editor’s picks, local news, and local weather categories.
You can watch Zeam as a guest. However, there is an option to log in, which provides exclusive features like personalized recommendations based on your watch history.
The Home tab is self-explanatory. It features content organized into Local News, Local Weather, National & International News, Zeam Originals, Entertainment, and more.
I tested a few videos in each of these categories, and all of them worked seamlessly. Playback was instant and buffer-free. However, the video quality for the live videos was mostly 480p and 780p HD. Zeam does not currently support 4K UHD streaming.
If you like a channel, you can add it to your favorites section for easy access. To do so, click on the star icon (Favorite) next to the channel description.
The Zeam Originals section appears to be a work in progress. I only got two sections, a live street camera live feed, and an original show, Stamos & Friends.
However, the street camera live feed was decent.
Other content categories on Zeam include entertainment, sports, travel, and food. Entertainment is mainly stand-up comedy, on-demand shows, and music.
The national and international news section offers limited coverage, although it does provide some information on events happening around the country and the globe. However, it’s understandable because Zeam’s focus is on local content like news, weather, live events, and shows.
Overall, Zeam is a good FireStick app to watch local news and exciting local content.
