Hello Everyone, I am Poppy! In this guide, I will discuss the steps to install the EarthCam on FireStick. These steps given in this guide will work more or less the same way on all Fire TV devices, Android boxes, Mi Boxes, and many more. I have also included steps to install EarthCam App on PC later in this guide. This method can be used to access EarthCam on tablets, laptops, and other mobile devices.
EarthCam offers exclusive webcam content via stream webcams located in interesting locations from around the world. This app will transport you to some scenic and landmark destinations. You will also find videos from some unparalleled locations and perspectives that may be difficult or impossible to visit in person. For example, EarthCam allows you to enjoy the sights from the torch balcony at the Statue of Liberty, which has been closed to the public since 1916.
This is a perfect app for times when can’t travel but still would like to explore the World from the comfort of your home. I really enjoy EarthCam and believe you will too. Therefore, I have included it in our catalog of Best Apps for Amazon Fire Stick.
