You may leave your computer home and still play the videos stored on the hard drive on your mobile from your friend’s house. The best thing about Plex is that the server (your computer) and clients (say, FireStick or mobile) do not need to be connected to the same wireless network.

For FireStick, it is available on the Amazon Store. For instance, for Android, you may download the app from the Google Play Store.

You can download the client app from the official app stores. Plex has client apps for almost all the devices that support media playback. You can access all the media (such as videos, music, pictures) on your computer’s hard drive using the client apps for external devices like FireStick, Mobiles, Tablets, TV Boxes, and Computers. Plex lets you create a media server on your computer. Let me make this simpler for you with an example. Plex is a client-server media tool that lets you access all your centrally stored media through various external devices. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install Plex on FireStick, how to sign up for a Plex account and how to set up a Plex server on your computer.
