How to Install & Watch VUDU on Amazon FireStick (2024)

In this tutorial, I will show you how to install and use Vudu on FireStick. The instructions in this guide work on all Fire TV devices, including FireStick 4K, All-New FireStick 4K, FireStick 4K Max, All-New FireStick 4K Max, FireStick Lite, FireStick 3r^d Gen, and Fire TV Cube.

Vudu is a US-based streaming service and online video store that lets you rent or buy digital copies of movies, shows, and other videos. It is also known as Fandango at Home.

What sets Vudu apart from other streaming services is that you do not need to pay monthly subscription fees. You pay only for what you watch.

It has a vast collection of movies and shows. You can either rent or buy a digital copy of the video. The prices vary depending on the content and streaming quality (HD or SD).

Vudu also has a vast collection of ad-supported, free content, including dozens of movies and shows in various genres.

Attention, FireStick Users!

Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.

I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Here are reasons why using a VPN at all times is essential.

How to Access and Use Vudu on FireStick

Follow these steps to access and use Vudu on FireStick:

1. Click on All Apps on your Fire TV home screen.

2. Select the Vudu app tile on the Your Apps & Channels page.

Note: If you intend to use Vudu regularly, I recommend creating a home screen shortcut on your Fire TV device.

If you want to explore the content before signing up, click on the menu on the left. Select Movies to browse through the available titles.

You can narrow your search using several filters, including genre, year, rating, most watched, and age.

You need to purchase the movie on a mobile or computer before you can watch it on your Fire TV. When prompted, click OK, then note the activation code on the screen.

Go to the directed website (vudu.com/start) and enter the provided code. Once the activation is complete, the screen on your TV will reload, and you can stream the movie.

Vudu offers plenty of free content. However, the complete library of free movies and shows is unavailable on the Vudu FireStick app. Therefore, if you want to explore and watch it all, you can access Vudu via a web browser on your FireStick.
