Fortunately, you can change the settings for this feature, meaning that you are able to turn the Firestick screensaver on or off. Screensavers have long been a part of computer operating systems as a means to prevent images from burning into your screen due to the same image being shown on that screen for an extended period of time. This isn’t something that only affects computer monitors. It can also affect TV screens, too. However, you may find that when the Fire TV Stick screensaver turns on, it closes you out of whichever app you were watching. This means that you need to go back into that app and restart whatever you were watching.
Step 1: Press the Home button to go to the Fire TV Stick’s home menu, then choose the Settings option at the top of the screen.
Step 2: Navigate to the Display & Sounds option and select it.
Step 3: Choose the Screensaver option.
Step 4: Scroll down and select the Start Time setting.
Step 5: Choose the Never option at the bottom of the list.
