Using the Fire TV app

The SoftWork Beats app turns a Fire TV, a Fire TV Stick, or a Fire tablet into a lobby music display — genre and album art on screen, music through the TV or whatever it's connected to.

Set it up

  1. On your Fire TV, open the Appstore and search for SoftWork Beats — or start from the apps page.
  2. Open the app. The music and the screen start straight away; you don't need an account to listen.
  3. To sign in, press Up on the remote until the top row lights up and choose Sign In. The TV shows a short code and the address softworkbeats.com/tv — open that on your phone or computer, sign in, enter the code, and approve the TV.
  4. Pick a genre from the row across the top, and press play.

Good to know

  • The Fire TV counts as one seat while it's playing — the same account covers your other screens too.
  • A subscription bought on a Fire TV is billed by Amazon, and you manage or cancel it in the Appstore. A plan bought anywhere else works here too: just sign in.
  • Sound follows the Fire TV's connection — TV speakers, soundbar, or receiver. More options in Getting the music to your speakers.
