Like all remote controls, the Fire TV Stick Remote also comes with a range of at least 10 feet from the device, with no obstructions in between. Unlike other remote controls, a Fire TV Stick’s remote works on Bluetooth instead of IR. So, while you don’t need to point the remote at your TV, you will still need to be within the range for it to work perfectly.

Additionally, you cannot play music on the YouTube app on your Fire TV Stick while you dine in another room or take a shower and expect to use the remote control. Apart from being within the range, you must be in the clear line of sight of the device. It means there should not be any wall between the remote and the Fire TV stick. Additionally, look out for any appliance that can cause interference. These include microwaves, wireless devices like speakers, and unshielded coaxial cables. Remove them from the general vicinity of the Fire TV Stick for the remote to work seamlessly.
