Insignia Fire TV Screen Mirroring? 2 Quick Ways!!

Want to know how to screen mirror on your Insignia Fire TV? Tried several methods but can’t get them to work? I have covered three quick ways to do screen mirroring with Insignia Fire TV Edition.

You must be aware that Amazon got rid of screen mirroring on this Fire TV, but when there’s a will, there’s a way, right?

You might be wondering if there is any way to do straight screen mirroring on the Insignia Fire TV Edition.

Well, there are multiple ways through which you can do this, all depending on the type and model of the TV you have.

As there is a list available from Amazon that lists all Fire TV devices and their compatibility for screen mirroring and casting.

The majority of phones and tablets that are Miracast-compatible allow you to mirror your display with Insignia Fire TV, except for a few windows devices.

If your Insignia Fire TV device is connected to an Amazon account but your mobile device is not, you can display the screen of the mobile device using Guest Display Mirroring.

So without further ado, let us see how you can cast or screen mirror your mobile/tablet/PC

How To Screen Mirror on Insignia Fire TV?

Mirroring is possible on Insignia Fire TV using either the official inbuilt mirroring option or by using third-party apps.

Below, I have outlined both of them so you can mirror your devices more easily.

Insignia Fire TV Screen Mirror (Inbuilt method)

The Insignia Fire TV Edition supports screen mirroring. To mirror a screen, press and hold the home button, select Mirroring, then connect your compatible device.

Screen Mirroring from any device using the Insignia Fire TV Guest Display Mirroring:

For Guest Display Mirroring to work, you’ll need to have at least 4.2 (Jelly Bean) on your mobile device

  1. On your Fire TV, Navigate to Settings then Display and Sounds and enable Display Mirroring.
  2. Enable the Mirroring option on your Mobile device (If you are uncertain how to enable display mirroring on your mobile device, refer to the user guide for your device.)
  3. You can stop Guest Display Mirroring by pressing any button on your remote or Fire TV app.

For mirroring to work effectively, the device must be within 30 feet of your Fire TV device.

Also, A few Miracast-compatible devices aren’t optimized for Fire TV (Insignia), and overall performance may vary.

Note: Using the above steps requires your Insignia Fire TV to support screen mirroring.

How to check if your Insignia Fire TV has the screen mirroring feature and is compatible?

Insignia Fire TVs may or may not have screen mirroring capability, so you need to check to see if your device is compatible. To do this, simply hold down the Home button on the remote. If you see the Mirroring icon, it is compatible.

Which devices don’t support screen mirroring with Insignia Fire TV?

Below are the devices that are not compatible with screen mirroring:

  • Those Android devices that don’t support Miracast
  • Wireless Display (WiDi)-incompatible Windows devices
  • Android devices that run an older version of Android OS (Jelly Bean)
  • iOS and MacOS

Using the above steps, you can easily mirror if everything goes well and your TV and devices are both compatible.

What if your Insignia Fire TV does not have the mirroring option?

Don’t worry if that happens, you can still screen mirror on your Insignia Fire TV using third-party apps.

Insignia Fire TV Mirroring Using Third-Party Apps

In the case of the Fire TV not showing up as a castable option during the casting process or mirroring, you’re going to need to use third-party apps.

The Insignia Fire TV can screen mirror with other devices using a variety of free and paid apps, and below I have listed some of the most popular ones.

Free Apps for Insignia Fire TV screen mirroring:

By using InShot’s Cast to TV apps, you can cast from two different devices at the same time. Both apps are free.

I sometimes use All Screen and AllCast. Both All Screen and AllCast give me a variety of connectivity options and are free of cost, so I sometimes use them for casting streaming websites.

Additionally, I had licensed the app Bubble UPnP earlier, which was also quite useful and gave the option of screen mirroring on multiple devices.
