How to install GSE Smart IPTV on FireStick

GSE Smart IPTV is officially available on Play Store and Apple App Store. However, on Amazon devices, such as your FireStick, it needs to be sideloaded. It is not hosted on the Amazon Store.

To sideload any external app onto FireStick, you need to make sure you have enabled Apps from Unknown Sources. If you don’t know how to do that, follow these steps first before starting the installation procedure:

– Go to the Settings on your FireStick device

You will find Settings in the menu bar on the home screen (on the top)

– Navigate to the menu item called My Fire TV and open it

– Now, you need to access the menu item Developer Options on the next window

– On this window, if the option Apps from Unknown Sources says OFF, you need to click it and switch it ON

Do not click if it is already ON

– Go ahead and click Turn on when this prompt appears on your screen

GSE Smart IPTV is a trustworthy, safe app. Do not worry about this warning message

Now that you have allowed the third-party app installation, let’s get GSE Smart IPTV on Amazon FireStick.

Click Xtreme-Codes API in the left menu. Click the + icon on the top, on the next screen

Enter the details in the popup and click Add
