Here’s how you can easily access TikTok on your Fire TV and how you can control it.
The process is easy and once you start watching videos it’s even easier to manage from your Alexa remote or Alexa devices. If you don’t already have an account on TikTok you can register for a new account. TikTok makes it easy to register for a new account using information from your Facebook, Google, Apple, or Twitter accounts.
If you have an Alexa device in your home and the app is already downloaded to your TV, simply say “Alexa, open TikTok.” The app will automatically open on your TV and you can verbally ask Alexa to play or pause the videos on your TV.
On the other hand, if you don’t have an Alexa device you can still open up your TikTok app verbally using the Alexa Voice Remote. You can also use the play or pause controls on your remote to control your videos.
You will be able to use most of the functionality of the app on your TV just like you would on your phone. Likewise, you will still be able to favorite videos, switch between videos you follow and your feed, discover new videos, and more.
Unfortunately, there is no way to create your own TikTok videos from your Fire TV and upload them to your profile for others to watch.
TikTok may not be the easiest social media platform to start with, so it will help if you understand how to use it before adding it to your TV.
