# Fire TV Menu Basics

Learn how to use the Fire TV menu at the top of your screen to access content and manage your Fire TV device settings.

You can use the Fire TV menu at the top of your screen for on-screen navigation.

Use the directional keypad on your Fire TV remote to select from the menu, or to browse dynamic category rows in each section:

## Home

Select Home from the Fire TV menu to access the Home screen. You can quickly view your recent items, Your Apps & Channels, content recommended for you, and more.

## Featured Content

You can browse through all the currently featured titles, or select Learn More for additional details about a title.

Note: There isn't an option to remove or turn off the featured content section. However, you can manage preferences for the video and audio clips that play automatically from Settings:

1. Select Settings from the Fire TV menu.
2. Open Preferences and select Featured Content.
3. If you set Allow Video Autoplay to OFF, the featured content section only shows still images.
4. If you set Allow Audio Autoplay to OFF, video clips within the featured content section play without audio.

## Sponsored

The ad banner features offers for digital content (including movies, TV shows, and apps). It also features physical products sold on the Amazon website. This banner can't be removed.

You can use your remote to select the banner if you want to learn more. The detail page outlines product information, availability, and/or purchase options.

Note: Physical products you order from your Fire TV charge to the payment method you select at checkout, and are shipped to the address you select. To modify a physical order placed on your Fire TV, go to Your Account on the Amazon website.

## Search

Select the Search icon in the Fire TV menu (next to Home) to enter a text search using the on-screen keyboard.

Tip: If you have a Fire TV remote with a Voice button or the Fire TV App, you can also use your voice to search for content. For more information, go to Alexa on Fire TV.

Note: Fire TV Stick Basic Edition does not include a Search option from the Home screen, but you can search within the Amazon Prime Video app. For Amazon.com, Fire TV Alexa voice features are only enabled for customers in the U.S.
