In this guide, I'll explain how to put TeaTV on FireStick. These instructions work for various Fire TV devices, such as Fire TV Stick 4K, 4K Max, Fire Stick Lite, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube.
What is TeaTV?
Tea TV has a wide range of awesome movies and TV shows. It's an app from a third-party source that provides a lot of on-demand content for free. Instead of hosting content itself, Tea TV plays videos from different streaming sources and repositories.
The app is lightweight but packed with features, offering a user-friendly design, premium layout, and easy navigation. The Home menu has sections like Popular, Top Rated, On the Air, and Airing Today, making it easy to find what you want to watch.
Most TV shows and movies on Tea TV are available in high quality, either 1080p or 720p. Overall, it's a fantastic app for entertainment that lives up to its promises.
Important: The creators of TeaTV now require you to use an external player called TPlayer. You'll need to install this player separately. I've included the instructions for installing TPlayer along with the steps for installing Tea TV.Tea TV comes with great features for movie and TV show enthusiasts. Here are some standout features:
- Premium and User-Friendly Interface: The interface is high-quality and easy to use.
- Extensive Variety: It provides a diverse range of movies and TV shows spanning different genres.
- Handy Sections: Sections like 'Popular' and 'Top Rated' assist users in discovering new titles.
- Smooth Playback: Content plays seamlessly without buffering or lags.
- Format Compatibility: Supports multiple video formats for flexibility.
- Subtitle Options: Offers subtitle support in various languages for a better viewing experience.
Is TeaTV Safe and Legal?
TeaTV isn't accessible through the Amazon App Store, creating uncertainty about its legal and safety standing. The status falls into a gray area due to the absence of rigorous safety checks for third-party apps. Users need to exercise caution when using such platforms.
To assess Tea TV's safety, I conducted a VirusTotal scan on the APK file, and the results are as follows.
Moreover, the legal status of unofficial apps like Tea TV remains unclear. Since Tea TV pulls video streams from various global providers, the legality of all available content cannot be guaranteed.
For added security, it's advisable to use a reliable VPN while streaming on Tea TV. Services like NordVPN are recommended for this purpose.
Install TeaTV on FireStick Using Downloader
To install TeaTV on your FireStick, since it's not available on the Amazon Store, you'll need to sideload it using an app called Downloader. Follow these steps:
Preparing FireStick for Sideload with Downloader:
- Navigate to your FireStick home screen and choose Find > Search. Search for Downloader and select it. Open Downloader's dashboard and click Get/Download.

Note: Some devices may display "Apps from Unknown Sources" instead of "Install Unknown Apps."
Note: If you can't find Developer Options, go to Settings > My Fire TV > About. Select Fire TV Stick and click it seven times to enable Developer Options.
Sideloading TeaTV with Downloader:

Streaming Content on Tea TV Safely
Your FireStick/Fire TV is ready to stream your favorite content. But your ISP and government can see everything you stream online. If you stream free movies, TV shows, or sports, you might get into legal trouble.
