There are a number of menus you can scroll through on your Fire TV, but what if you wanted to just quickly access some of the device’s most important or most used features? The hidden Quick Menu is a simple popup menu of five options you’ll want easy access to.
Want to swap profiles on the fly? Looking to access your apps without having to dig through the Fire TV’s interface? Maybe you just need to check the date and time but don’t have your phone available. All of these, along with access to Settings and screen mirroring, are available in the Fire TV Quick Access Menu. Though Amazon does reference the menu in the Fire TV user guide, it’s in quick asides that don’t explain what you see or do.
To bring up the menu from any screen, press and hold the remote’s home button. From it, you can view your profiles, access your downloaded apps, put Fire TV to sleep, enable screen mirroring, and view Fire TV’s settings.
