If you have a smart TV or a set-top box connected to your TV, you can easily fire one of the many fireplaces that are online, and imagine that you’re watching a fire burn rather than a video of one. There are many ways to turn your TV into a virtual fireplace. It really depends on which devices and services you’ve linked to your TV. We’re going to cover some of the most common options.
Smart TV Apps
Streaming services are fantastic, but you may not be subscribing to either of them, or you may prefer something more direct. There are applications on several smart TV platforms that are specifically designed to show a fireplace on your TV. Here are some of the most common applications for a number of smart TV platforms. You can also open the app store on your particular computer and check for “Fireplace.”

Chromecast Fireplace Apps
Chromecast devices don’t really have “apps” in the same way that other smart TV platforms do. Instead, the apps are on your mobile device, from which you “cast” the content to the Chromecast. You can cast any of the fireplace videos from the streaming services listed above to your Chromecast-enabled TV. Apple TV Fireplace Apps
