How to Sideload Peacock on Amazon Fire TV in 2023?

Peacock was available on Amazon Fire devices since 2021. You can now download and watch Peacock on Fire TV, Fire Tablet, Fire Stick, and Fire Phone. This means that if you're using the Fire TV Stick, you can get Peacock by downloading it directly from the Amazon Appstore.

But, if you are not in the area where Peacock can be reached, you need to sideload it. In this article, we'll show you how to sideload Peacock on Amazon Fire TV and get them to work.

Section 1: Is Peacock Available on Firestick?

Peacock TV did not initially support Amazon devices, but Peacock is available on Firestick starting 24 June 2021. By installing the app from the App Store, you can watch Peacock on your Firestick. After downloading the application, you can log in with your Peacock account and begin watching your favorite television episodes and films.

You can sign up for a Peacock account on the Peacock website if you don't have one. Once you've created an account, you are able to use the same credentials to access Peacock on your Firestick.

The bad news is that if you live outside of the United States, you won't be able to find Peacock TV Fire in the App Store. In that situation, you have two choices: change the country of your Amazon account to the United States or sideload the Peacock TV app. The latter one seems to be the better option.

2.1 What Is Sideloading and What Is It Used For?

Sideloading often refers to the transfer of media files to a mobile device through USB, Bluetooth, WiFi, or by writing to a memory card for insertion into the mobile device, but it can also apply to the transfer of non-vendor-approved online applications.

Section 3: How to Watch Peacock on Amazon Fire TV without Sideloading or Installing

Peacock allows for a limited number of download possibilities, which vary depending on the membership package that you purchased. The download feature is currently only supported by Peacock premium subscription.

In addition to this, Peacock does not support downloading all types of content. You can watch the movies and television series that you have downloaded for a limited amount of time. After the allotted time has passed, you will be required to download them again.

Peacock does not enable its customers to transfer the videos they have downloaded to any other platforms or devices. Because of this, StreamFab Peacock Downloader has been developed to enable you to download any video you want, without any limits.

Below are the steps to download Peacock videos with this Peacock video downloader software:

Summary

Peacock is a streaming service that allows people to watch TV shows and movies on their smart TVs, game consoles, and mobile devices. You can also download the Peacock content but only for the Premium plans. Too bad that you can watch the downloaded content only for a limited time, and it will be deleted afterward.
