How to Install Stremio on FireStick for Unlimited Streaming

In this article, I will show you how to install Stremio on FireStick. I will also cover how to use the Stremio app properly, add addons you can use to watch content on FireStick, etc. You can use this guide for any Fire TV, including FireStick Lite, Fire TV Cube, FireStick 3rd Gen, FireStick 4K Max & 4K.

What Is Stremio?

The Stremio app is a media content streaming service that works with add-ons – similar to Kodi but less versatile. This service supports platforms like Android TV boxes, mobiles, Android devices, and Fire TV devices.

Thanks to a great library of one-touch install add-ons, Stremio is quite convenient. Stremio stores add-ons for movies, TV shows, live channels, etc., online so you can easily access them.

Stremio is an excellent app for streaming content for relatively low-spec devices like Fire TVs. Moreover, The app works on accounts. So, you install an addon once, and it’ll stay with the account forever.

For these reasons and several more, Stremio is part of our collection of best apps for FireStick.

Is Stremio Safe?

Well, Stremio is a third-party app. And because of its type, we can’t really test whether it’s 100% safe or unsafe for your device.

That said, I checked the Stremio APK file on VirusTotal – an excellent online tool that scans viruses inside files within seconds. Thankfully, VirusTotal didn’t find any issue with it – check for yourself:

Furthermore, Stremio is available as an official app on Google Play Store.

Is Stremio Legal?

Is Stremio completely legal? It does not violate copyright laws, making Stremio legal to use.

But there’s a catch! You must be careful when installing third-party Stremio addons. These addons fetch streaming links to your favorite shows and movies. So, ensure that the installed addons are verified.

You can also enjoy community addons if you are using them to stream publicly available content. However, I advise using a VPN like ExpressVPN to hide your online identity and maintain complete privacy.

Best Stremio Features

Stremio is loaded with quality features. Here are some of them:

• Discovering new content has been made incredibly easy with the filters and search feature of the app
• You can sort addons by their content category
• Brings all of your video content under the umbrella of one streaming site with HD streaming links
• Organize the library into neat categories to easily find the type of content you want
• Maintains a comprehensive history of whatever you watch.

How to Install Stremio on FireStick

I have divided the Stremio on FireStick installation process into two parts for your understanding. So, let us begin.

Set Up FireStick for Stremio Sideloading

We’ll need to sideload the Stremio app on Amazon Fire Stick to install it. This means fetching the APK of Stremio from its official website and installing it.

Thankfully, you can easily avoid online monitoring and safeguard your privacy with a trusted VPN on FireStick. A VPN will hide your IP address and online identity by encrypting your internet connection.

Please note that I am not encouraging you to violate any copyright laws. You should always watch the content available in the public domain. I am simply recommending the use of a VPN to maintain your privacy. You have every right to your privacy, which is constantly being breached these days.

I personally use ExpressVPN and have found it to be the fastest and most secure FireStick VPN. It is also the most streaming-friendly VPN I have ever used. Therefore, I highly recommend getting ExpressVPN for FireStick.

How to Use Stremio on FireStick

Now that you are done with installing Stremio on FireStick, you will need to familiarize yourself with how to use Stremio on FireStick. We’ll start with creating a free Stremio account as it’s necessary.

Sign up for Stremio

Open Your Apps & Channels section on FireStick and launch Stremio.

Click Allow to let Stremio send automatic anonymous reports to its development team.

The signing-up process for the Stremio app is easy and can be completed on a mobile, computer, or FireStick. As we are on FireStick, the best way is to select SIGN UP.

Next, enter your Email, Password, and Re-confirm Password. Then, check the first two boxes and continue to complete the Stremio sign-up process.

And you are done! Let’s proceed to the app’s overview.

Stremio Overview

Stremio’s Home Screen will come into view once you log in. After that, you’ll land on the Boards section.

You can view all the recent and recommended movies and TV shows on this screen. You can select any one of those options and get the streaming links for the desired content.

Select the Three-Lines icon at the top left of the screen to open the Stremio side menu.

To explore content, open Discover.

Discover includes sub-sections like Series, Channels, TV Channels, Others, etc. Open Movies to explore films.

Here, you’ll see Popular movies by default. You can change the filter or view content Genre-wise.

To view saved content, open My Library.

My Library is empty as I haven’t favorited any content on Stremio.

But to watch content, you’ll need to install add-ons, remember? So the next section teaches you just that.

How to Install Stremio Addons

Unlike Kodi addons, Stremio add-ons are like plugins that get attached to your account for a lifetime once you install them. So, you can install as many addons as you wish without worrying that you will run out of space on your FireStick.

There are two types of Stremio add-ons, Official and Community. Stremio developers create the official ones. In contrast, independent third-party creators develop others. Here are the steps to install Stremio addons:

1. Go to Menu on the top left-hand side corner of the Stremio home screen. Then select Addons.

2. You will see two filters, Official & Community. I have changed the filter to Community. Now, to install an addon, click the green Install button.

3. When installing Community addons, the following warning will appear. Click INSTALL to continue.

4. Explore the list of Community addons and install them one by one!
