TeaTV Official Website Unavailable – Best Alternatives
This in-depth report on TeaTV will provide you with important information that you need to know about this app on Firestick/Android devices.
Is TeaTV safe to use? Is TeaTV legal? How do I install TeaTV? We will answer those questions and more in this article.
The reason why we ask legal questions is due to the fact that TeaTV isn’t available in popular app stores such as Amazon App Store or Google Play. This is usually a warning sign.
Since this app can’t be installed through an app store, it must be sideloaded which we illustrate in the screenshot guide below.
TeaTV is an APK streaming application that provides users with numerous free Movies & TV Shows for viewing.
TeaTV offers a wide array of content and features an awesome interface and tons of Categories to choose from.
Not only can you view Movies and TV Shows, but TeaTV also provides some Live TV options.
For these reasons and more we have included TeaTV in our Most Popular APKs list.
Note: If you are looking for the direct sources that TeaTV and other apps populate streaming links from, I suggest viewing our Best Free Movie Sites and Putlocker Alternatives lists.

TeaTV Features & Details
As stated above, upon installing TeaTV you will notice a user-friendly interface full of content.
When searching for and selecting content on a Firestick or Fire TV, it is important to have your mouse toggle feature enabled.
Many functions in TeaTV require this and it will make your experience more enjoyable!
Another way to improve your experience in TeaTV is by integrating both a real-debrid and Trakt.tv account within the app.
By using these you will have access to tons of high-quality links and can sync your favorite content across multiple platforms.
I highly suggest real-debrid for any streaming app as it will provide you with numerous links in 720 and even 1080p High Definition.
How To Search In TeaTV – after you click the search icon, you go to a page that appears to be blank usually with an ad. Highlight the back button in top left screen which looks like an arrow pointing to the left. Then click the right arrow on your remote and that will place you in the search box. Then, click the OK button to pull open the keyboard.
After selecting a title to view, you will see the option to Watch trailer. This is one of my favorite features of TeaTV as it allows the user to preview content prior to watching.
You will also notice the “Similar Movies or TV Shows” category shown below the description. This is a great way to find related movies or TV shows that might peak your interest.
To play content, simply click the Play button located at the top of the poster of the chosen title.
This will prompt TeaTV to scour for sources and ultimately give you numerous options to choose from. These will vary in quality and size so be sure to select one that works best for you.
After you choose to play, TeaTV provides a few different options for viewing. You can play with subtitles, play with different video players, and even download the content.
