How to Install TeaTV on FireStick
Android operating systems have a security feature that blocks the apps coming from third-party sources. This prevents the automatic installation of malicious applications. Though, there are some secure third-party apps that also get blocked. TeaTV is one such example.
I am telling you all this because even your FireStick has this security setting. And, to install TeaTV on FireStick, we are going to disable it. Here is how it is done:
1- Go to the home screen of your device. There is a menu on the top. From that menu, choose Settings
2- From the list of the items on the next screen, access My Fire TV
3- Now, you want to select Developer Options
4- Apps from unknown sources must be ON in order to install TeaTV. By default, it is OFF. Just click this option and enable it
5- Choose the option Turn on when this warning message is displayed. There is nothing to worry about. TeaTV is a widely used and safe app
We will now start with detailed instructions.
TeaTV on FireStick with Downloader App
FireStick uses Android OS but functions a bit differently. For example, you cannot download the APK files directly from regular browsers like FireFox or Silk for sideloading purposes. You need special tools.
Downloader is widely considered as the finest sideloading app. It is easy to use. It is available for download from the Amazon Store. You can look up in the Amazon Store from the FireStick home screen. There is a search option on the home screen, which you can access by selecting the lens icon in the menu bar in the upper-left corner.
Search for the Downloader app and download it. When that’s been done, follow these steps and install TeaTV on FireStick:
1- Run Downloader. You should see this window with the empty URL field on the right side. Click inside this field
2- You can now type the TeaTV source URL with the help of the on-screen keyboard. This is the URL: https://www.firestickhow.com/tea
Click GO or press the Play/Pause button on your remote
3- Downloader should not take too long to download the APK file of TeaTV app. Just wait until it is done
4- Downloader app will also run the file for you and commence the installation. FireStick will ask for your confirmation before proceeding. You must see this window. The install button will appear in the bottom right when you scroll down a bit
5- Click Install
6- TeaTV will install. Give it a minute.
7- The App installed message confirms that TeaTV on FireStick has been installed. You may choose Open to start the app. But, for now, I am clicking Done and going back to the Downloader app. You will know why in the next step
8- This prompt must be active. Click Delete
I am deleting the TeaTV APK file because it won’t be needed anymore. It is good to remove files that take up unnecessary space on your device
9- Confirm by clicking Delete again
TeaTV has been installed successfully on your FireStick. You may access the app anytime by going to: Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > TeaTV > Launch Application.
Wait! It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content on FireStick. But have you protected your online identity yet? You are under constant surveillance by the Government and ISP. Free streaming of copyrighted videos may get you into legal trouble.
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.
