If you’re wondering why such a port exists, if not for connecting your laptop with the Firestick, the answer is simple – many people want to connect their gaming consoles to their laptops via a USB cable. The first solution would be getting the Firestick’s HDMI connector to fit your laptop. None of these are within the realm of a guarantee, though, and you may end up just wasting your time, money, and energy. There are, however, a few tricks that may work.

Open the browser, log in to your Amazon Prime account, and simply start streaming.īut just for the sake of the conversation could it be done?Īgain, most likely, no, it cannot be done.

On the other hand, you don’t have to worry about that if you have a Chromebook. In fact, the very reason why the Firestick exists, in the first place, is because you can’t just open a web browser and log in to your Prime account on your smart TV, without compromising video and sound quality, FPS, and a variety of other aspects and settings. For one, Chromebooks can actually both connect to the internet and stream video content, so there isn’t any objective need to pair it with a Firestick. As long as you have a Chromebook with a browser installed on it and an internet connection, you don’t actually need a Firestick for streaming. However, the real question is: is there a need to pair the two? Even if there was a way to use the Firestick on a Chromebook, why would anyone want to do it? Well, you might say, because I want to put the convenient little Firestick in my pocket, head out on the road, and enjoy my favorite program on my trusty Chromebook while on the move. The mere fact that a Firestick is equipped with its very own OS should be a telltale sign that the device wasn’t meant to work with laptops.

Firesticks are simply designed to be paired with TVs, monitors, and projectors.

That being said, even if you find a workaround, chances are that it wouldn’t work.
