Yes, AirBeamTV works with Fire TV Cube. If you have been staring at your phone, wondering why nothing is showing up on your TV yet, you are in the right place. This guide walks you through everything you need to get screen mirroring working on your Fire TV Cube, from setup to fixing the most common problems.
What you need before mirroring to Fire TV Cube
Before you start, it helps to have everything in order. Most connection problems come down to one or two missing pieces, so a quick checklist now saves a lot of frustration later.
- A Fire TV Cube (any generation)
- An iPhone, iPad, Android phone, or Android tablet
- Both your phone and your Fire TV Cube connected to the same WiFi network
- A stable WiFi connection (5GHz is better than 2.4GHz for smoother mirroring)
- The AirBeamTV app installed on your phone or tablet
The WiFi point is worth repeating. If your phone is on one network and your Fire TV Cube is on another, or on a guest network, mirroring will not work. Check this first before anything else.
Set up AirBeamTV on your Fire TV Cube
Install the AirBeamTV app on your Fire TV Cube so it is ready to receive your screen. This only takes a couple of minutes.
- On your Fire TV Cube, go to the Search function from the home screen.
- Type AirBeamTV and select it from the results.
- Choose Download or Get to install the app.
- Once installed, open the AirBeamTV app on your Fire TV Cube.
- Leave the app open on your TV screen. You should see a waiting screen with a message that the app is ready to receive a connection.
After this step, your Fire TV Cube is ready. Keep the app running on your TV while you move to your phone. If you close the app or navigate away, the connection will not be established.
Connect your phone or tablet to Fire TV Cube
With the AirBeamTV app open on your Fire TV Cube, it is time to start mirroring from your device. The steps differ slightly depending on whether you are using an iPhone or an Android device.
For iPhone and iPad
- Download the AirBeamTV for Fire TV app from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Open the app and tap Start Mirroring.
- Select your Fire TV Cube from the list of available devices.
- Follow the on-screen prompt to enable screen recording permission. This is required by Apple and only takes one tap.
- Your phone screen will now appear on your TV.
For Android phones and tablets
- Download the AirBeamTV for Fire TV app from the Google Play Store.
- Open the app and tap Start Mirroring.
- Select your Fire TV Cube from the list of available devices.
- Grant any permissions the app requests, then tap to confirm.
- Your Android screen will appear on your TV within a few seconds.
Once connected, everything on your phone screen will show up on the TV in real time. You can play videos, browse photos, or share a presentation. If your device does not appear in the list, double-check that both devices are on the same WiFi network.
Fix common AirBeamTV and Fire TV Cube connection issues
Screen mirroring to Fire TV Cube does not always connect on the first try. Here are the most common problems and how to solve them quickly.
Your device does not show up in the app
This almost always comes down to the WiFi network. Open the WiFi settings on your phone and check the network name. Then go to your Fire TV Cube settings and check its network. They need to match exactly, including making sure neither one is on a guest network.
The connection drops or lags
A weak WiFi signal is usually the cause. Try moving your router closer to the TV or your phone, or switch to a 5GHz WiFi band if your router supports it. Closing background apps on your phone can also help free up performance.
There is no sound on the TV
Make sure the volume is turned up both on your phone and on the TV. Also check that your phone is not set to silent or Do Not Disturb mode, as this can block audio output during mirroring.
The app on Fire TV Cube shows an error
Close the app completely on your Fire TV Cube and reopen it. Then restart the mirroring process from your phone. If the problem continues, restart both your Fire TV Cube and your phone, then try again.
