Stream Premium exercises on Fire TV Stick device

[AshT]

Right now for Android devices, you can only stream the premium exercise videos on a Chromecast device. Well I don't have that brand of streaming device, so I still am not able to utilize the videos like I want to. Please make it compatible with more than just Google or make it available on the desktop account.

Yes, this would be very useful. I will be cancelling my premium subscription as soon as it's up because I can't do this.

Please please add the app to Amazon Fire Stick.  Really difficult following yoga poses on my phone!!

Allow for a connection of our premium content to be accessed via our television or other big screen. His could be offered via Firestick or Amazon Prime or as it’s own content.

I agree, you should be able to view workouts via Amazon firestick. I struggle to watch workouts via my phone as the screen is too small

Please add the app to the Amazon Fire Stick

I also will not continue with premium if I can’t stream to fire stick.

I plan to cancel after my free 6 months as well. If I cannot see on a larger screen (like TV with firestick), the premium workouts are not beneficial.

I strongly agree with this suggestion. I want to use the premium programs provided by fitbit but being limited to Chromecast means I can't. I have no intention of adding a Chromecast to my tv when I already have a fire stick. Fitbit should be compatible with multiple 'casting' or streaming options.

[Crys_night]

I also agree. There needs to be a way to easily watch the premium videos on tv without needing Chromecast- casting to non-google devices, an app or connect them with YouTube (an existing app).

Sadly, I will also have to cancel my premium membership because I can’t access the videos except on my iPhone mini, which doesn’t work well. Why not make them available on a firestick or the desktop site? Sucks.I see this has been a complaint for over two years, with FitBit moderators replying twice, to no avail. The problem persists.

Adding my vote to develop the functionality to stream to any smart TV or fire stick... Please! It would be nice to actually use the workout content that comes with the Premium subscription. The phone screen is far too small!

[SandyMarieA]

I am also adding my vote to please add casting ability to FireTV. The whole reason I subscribed to Premium was for the exercise videos. But using on my phone is not working for me. I need to be able to cast to my fireTV! If not able to within 6 months, I will be canceling Premium. What a shame. I like everything else, but like I said the exercise videos were the most important to me.

I ended up cancelling as they never sorted out the. Streaming issue!

I found another way! I downloaded the "screen mirroring app" on phone, then on my fire stick and it works! It just mirrors anything I have on my phone screen, so it's good for other things too! So glad! 😊

[si087746]

Thank you, does this work on iPhone do you know?

I don't know. I have an android.

This has been an issue for the last two+ years w/Fitbit Premium and unfortunately I didn't realize I couldn't mirror from my iPhone to firestick before paying  an annual subscription to Premium. - only the audio works...very disappointed. 😑 I will not renew Premium next year if this is not available.
