While many people like to use their TV for watching movies and TV shows, some also want to see YouTube videos on the big screen, and so might be wondering if you can do so using a Fire TV device.
Amazon's Fire TV is an operating system available on its smart TVs and Fire TV streaming sticks that includes loads of video and music streaming apps.
Thankfully, one of those is YouTube, the original video streaming website that's still one of the go-to places for free entertainment videos. However it hasn't always been available on Fire TV devices, and it was conspicuosly absent through the late 2010s.
Here's how to get the app.
