Playing Spotify on your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick is a breeze with two convenient methods. The first method involves installing the Spotify app directly on your device. Simply connect your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick to your TV and the internet, locate the Spotify app in the “Music & Audio” section of the app categories, and install it. Once installed, sign in to your Spotify account and start browsing through your playlists, albums, and tracks using the Fire TV remote or the Spotify app on your smartphone.
