How to Install Netflix, Disney+, Hulu & Peacock on Firestick
Installing apps on Firestick is simple thanks to Amazon’s built-in Appstore. Here’s how to get each of the big four streaming apps:
Install Netflix on Firestick
- To begin, open the Search (magnifying glass icon) from the Firestick home screen.
- After that, type Netflix into the search bar.
- Once the results appear, select the official Netflix app.
- At this point, click Download (or Get) and wait for installation.
- Finally, open the app and sign in with your Netflix account.
If you open an app and it refuses to launch, some Fire TV devices now show a new alert when apps are flagged — you can see the exact Firestick warning message and the full list of affected apps here: 👉 Firestick Blocks Are Now LIVE: The Exact Warning & Full List of Affected Apps.

How to Install Netflix, Disney+, Hulu & Peacock on Google TV
Although this guide focuses on Firestick, Google TV users can install the same apps through the Google Play Store.

Moreover, all four apps are officially supported. This makes the process quick and straightforward. However, if an app is missing due to region restrictions, you can sideload the APK. To learn how, see our How to Sideload Apps on Fire TV & Google TV Safely (2025 Guide).
If you also want to access region-restricted streaming libraries safely, our Proton VPN Free setup guide for Firestick and Google TV shows you how to install a secure, no-logs VPN at no cost.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- App not appearing in search → First, ensure your Firestick or Google TV is updated to the latest software.
- Login problems → Double-check your subscription is active. For Hulu and Disney+, regional restrictions may apply.
- If you run into region-related app limitations, using a privacy-safe VPN such as Proton VPN Free can help stabilise access on Firestick and Google TV.
- Buffering or lag → Try restarting your Firestick. Alternatively, try our Wi-Fi Setup for Streaming: Optimise Wi-Fi for 4K Devices (2025 Guide).
- Peacock app crashes → In many cases, uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixes this problem.
