Fire TV: Use Facebook on TV - how it works

If you also want to use Facebook on the Fire TV, this only works via a small detour. We'll show you how it's done.

Use Facebook on the Amazon Fire TV

To use Facebook you need the software XBMC (formerly Kodi). This practical tip shows you how to install it on the Fire TV.

1. Start the XBMC app on your Fire TV and select the "Settings" under the "System" category.
2. Go to the "Add-Ons" category on the left and then select the "Get Add-Ons" option.
3. In the "XBMC / Kodi Add-On repository" you will find a large number of "Program Add-Ons".
4. Select the "Facebook Media" application here and confirm the process with "Install".
5. Facebook is then downloaded and installed. Tip: You can use Facebook a little more comfortably with a mouse.
