1. Do I need an Amazon account to use Fire TV Stick?

An Amazon account is mandatory for initial activation and core functionality. The Fire TV Stick prompts you to sign in to your Amazon account during the initial setup process. Without an Amazon account, you cannot download apps, access settings, or stream content.

Using the Fire TV Stick on a laptop requires exploring workarounds, such as using a capture card or screen mirroring.
