The following guide shows how to Remotely Control a Firestick, Android TV Box, phone, or tablet from anywhere.
Controlling your Amazon Firestick or Fire TV via remote access can be done using a tool called Vysor.
Vysor is a desktop software available for download on any operating system including Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Using a tool like Vysor will allow you to control any Firestick/Fire TV, Android TV Box, phone, or tablet from anywhere in the world with internet access.
Vysor also supports iOS devices as well.
This differs from screen mirroring and other Firestick Remote Alternatives because controlling a device via remote access can be done from outside a network.
