all right guys get you zoomed in on the
screen rate and now so I know I have a
lot of subscribers more advanced users
that are looking for some advanced
firestick stuff this is just for
beginners new subscribers those that
have not watched any or very few of my
videos and are just a little confused
may not be able to maneuver around like
they want to this is just a beginner's
guide folks I am doing an advanced guide
to the Amazon fire stick where you can
really customize your fire stick I'll be
doing that video it's already ready to
be filmed and edited so make sure you
hit that notification bell down below so
that you're notified for that but this
is just for beginners guys this is right
out of the box plugged your fire stick
in now what do I do
all right let's get right to it so when
you plug your fire stick in it goes into
your HDMI slot in the back and then
you're gonna have a power supply that
plugs into the wall and a remote that
looks just like this a little blurry I
don't look close to the camera but this
remote here is pretty fantastic it has
everything from a power button which
will also control your TV and volume
control up and down it has a microphone
you can search for things just by
talking into it it's got the little
circle cursor that goes around you've
got the back button home button three
dashes which you use quite often and
then play fast-forward and then your
mute button all on your remote it's very
sleek it's very small as you can see
right here not much to it guys very very
simple easy to use the fire stick is a
very easy device to use and let's talk
about a few things so if you go when you
first plug it in you're gonna come to
this home screen okay if you go left of
the home screen to the search you can
search for all kinds of things for
example if you want to add your Netflix
to your Amazon fire stick you just type
into Netflix click on that and you'll be
able to pull that up right there so if
you've got your Netflix already and you
want to keep it you can add that to your
device just by doing that what else can
you add well as you can see here I added
you to
I've had Firefox and then these free
film and TV channels which are fantastic
I've got all kinds of them on here guys
I'll just show you what I have on my
fire stick so you can kind of get an
idea of the types of things that you can
have so I'm just gonna hit the home
button and that'll take you right back
to this main screen just like that if
you hold the home button down which is
right here for three seconds okay 1 2 3
it will pull this up right here and this
is kind of an important screen to have
and it is hidden ok just by holding that
home button it looks like a little home
3 seconds you're gonna come to this
alright so you've got apps sleep mode
and you definitely want to put your fire
stick to sleep it will wake up just by
pushing any button but it rests your
fire stick and keeps it optimized ok
plus the stuff isn't running in the
background constantly and you like and
using up your internet space and some
people only have so much data on their
internet that they can use and so you
definitely want to put it to sleep
mirroring which gives you the ability to
take your phone or your computer or your
laptop and project it onto the screen a
very very cool feature that will be in
my advanced video that I'll be doing
later and then settings where you can
set up your fire stick to get the best
in the most out of it but let's talk
about what apps I have on my fire stick
right now alright so just go over to
apps click on apps it'll take just a
second it will pull up all the apps I
don't keep all of my apps necessarily on
my fire stick I put them in the cloud so
it doesn't take up space my fire stick
only has 6 gigabytes of space I'll be
talking about gigabytes of space and all
that in my advanced video as well this
is just a tutorial setup so these are my
videos here I'm sorry my my apps that I
have downloaded on here right now ok
these are ad blockers live TV apps more
live TV apps like movie apps sports apps
things like that and then that's what I
like and then some really good movie
apps right here cinema and Morpheus
those are really really good
and then you've got Pluto TV and to be
so this is a good way to cut the cord
guys eventually you get one of these and
you want to play with it a little bit
and decide whether or not you want to
keep cable you don't you I don't I cut
the cord
I don't need cable anymore because I
have everything I need right here on my
fire stick what a fire stick is guys
basically is it takes a regular TV just
a normal TV and turns it into a smart TV
that's all a fire stick is it's got some
great plugins and some things that you
can do but that's all it is so these are
the apps that I use one of the TV apps I
really like I actually have a video on
ik is this one right here it's called
Pluto TV if you click on Pluto TV you'll
get your you'll see that it has tons and
tons of channels I mean and movie
channels TV channel tons of channels
that you can watch completely free if
you head over here and just scroll down
just like a regular cable provider I'm
gonna turn the volume down and it is
completely it was it is completely free
does not cost anything now I know that
Pluto TV is not available in all
countries and I am sorry for that is not
much I can do about that there's other
options and I'll be talking about those
in some of my other videos on how to get
those TV shows and movies and so forth
in other countries but I do know the
Pluto TV is strictly for the United
States and a few other select countries
okay but I'm just scrolling good to show
you all the channels that are on here

guys sports channels news channels major
networks music channels forensic files

imagine for the most part is gonna be on
here and it's completely free and it's
built into your fire stick alright so

has games built into it for the kids or
even for the young adults or somebody
like me that likes to play games in
their 40s some of my favorite games when
I grew up was a double dragon here's the
trilogy for double dragon it's two
dollars an innocence that's nothing guys
to be able to play a game back in the
day that cost us a fortune neo turf

very cool
you've got Virtua Tennis it's $4.99 some
are free some cost money here's Pac Man

completely free but it requires a gaming
stick which Xbox works with any
Bluetooth pad will work some don't
require it

Be a Millionaire but you may not know
that those were already built in to your
Amazon fire stick another one is
