Is it possible to use a TV as secondary display using Fire TV Stick ?

8 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/is-it-possible-to-use-a-tv-as-secondary-display-using-fire-tv-stick.211754/

I have decided to buy a Fire TV Stick.

But I am having a doubt.

Can I Cast a separate screen to Fire TV Stick that is displaying two different content on both my monitor and TV Screen?

For example, I will use Word on the primary monitor meanwhile the TV plays a VLC Video (two different desktop workspaces)

Just like dual screen monitor setup.

Is that possible?

Not sure how you set it up. Maybe a line diagram will help.

Source for primary monitor?

Can 1 firestick be source for 2 monitors? I doubt so.

I doubt a Fire stick will help here. Why not just connect your TV to a second HDMI port on your PC if you have a GPU with multiple ports. You'll need an extended cable for this.

If you are using a laptop, I think you can connect the spare HDMI port to your TV.

Ohh. I am using Macbook Air M2 which only have USB-C ports

You can only cast one screen from Fire Stick TV at a time. As the fire stick HDMI port will be plugged into either TV or Monitor.

Yeah, I think it will simply mirror a device. So you essentially have the same display on two screens.

Yes, that is possible, in windows you have to connect wireless display but its laggy and mostly unusable.

I'm not sure if the firestick can use a regular web browser, but if you can, you could use Deskscreen ( *deskreen.com/lang-en ) to use it as a second display. (Check the FAQ section).
