How to Connect a Streaming Stick to Your TV
A streaming stick is one of the fastest ways to add app support to a TV that doesn't already have it.
A streaming stick plugs directly into your TV's HDMI port and adds full app support in a few minutes, without opening up the back of your TV or running new cables.
Setup steps
- Plug the stick into an open HDMI port and connect its power cable
- Switch your TV's input to that HDMI port
- Follow the on-screen setup to connect to your Wi-Fi network
- Install the Apollo Group TV app from the device's app store and sign in
If the picture or sound looks off after setup
Double-check the HDMI cable itself, especially on older TVs — our HDMI cable guide covers what actually matters. For sound through external speakers, see our guide on connecting a streaming device to a soundbar.
Confirming your stick is supported
Check our Devices page to confirm the platform your stick runs on is currently supported before you buy.
