# Second Screen with Fire Phone

You can use Second Screen to connect your Fire phone to the Prime Video app on your Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick.

Your TV acts as the primary screen, while your Fire phone acts as a remote for playback controls or a customized display for X-Ray so you can learn more about the movie or TV show you’re watching. You can also quickly browse the web, view your email, and more.

Your Fire TV device is the primary screen, while your Fire phone acts as a remote for playback controls or a customized display for X-Ray so you can learn more about the movie or TV show you’re watching. You can also exit the Second Screen experience to perform other tasks on your phone while the video continues to play on your TV.

Second Screen is currently available for Fire devices, including Fire phone, Fire tablets, Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick.

Tip: Before you begin, make sure your Fire phone and Fire TV device are turned on and connected to the Internet. They don't need to be connected to the same wireless, Wi-Fi, or wired network to work together.

1. From your Fire phone, tap Videos, and open the video details for a movie or TV show.
2. From the video's detail page, tap the Second Screen icon.
3. In the pop-up window that opens, select a Fire TV device to send the movie or TV show to.

   Your movie or TV show then begins playing on both your phone and Fire TV device. While watching, you can control playback of the video on your Fire phone by tapping the Play, Pause, or Jump Back buttons, or by using the video progress bar to move forward or go back.

When you’re finished watching, tap the Second Screen icon, and then select your Fire phone to end playback.
