Set up Gabe Verse on your TV
Gabe Verse is now available on Amazon Fire TV. Turn your television into a more comfortable, family-friendly calling experience and enjoy bigger, easier-to-see conversations from the couch.

Why a TV setup feels better
Gabe Verse on a television can make family calls feel more natural, more comfortable, and easier to enjoy, especially for older adults who do not want to hunch over a phone or squint at a small screen.
Great for older adults
A bigger screen and more relaxed seating can make family calls easier to enjoy for parents, grandparents, and anyone who prefers comfort over tiny screens.
Feels more natural
Television-based calling can feel more like visiting together in the living room and less like trying to manage another app.
Works with your lifestyle
Gabe Verse is built for flexible use at home and on the go, so families can stay connected in the way that works best for them.
No closed ecosystem
Unlike some platforms, Gabe Verse is not centered around forcing families into expensive proprietary camera hardware.
What you need
The setup is simple, but real-world testing showed that using a powered OTG adapter provides the most reliable experience when connecting a webcam to a Fire TV Stick.

Powered OTG adapter
Use a powered OTG adapter or hub so the Fire TV Stick can stay powered while also supporting your USB webcam. This setup proved the most reliable in testing.

Simple setup overview
Here is the basic idea of how the setup connects together.
Step-by-step setup
Follow these simple steps to get Gabe Verse ready on your television.
Step 1: Plug your Fire TV Stick into the television
Connect your Fire TV Stick to an available HDMI port on the television, just as you normally would.
Step 2: Connect the OTG adapter
Attach the OTG adapter to the Fire TV Stick. This adapter creates the connection point for your USB camera and power cable.
Step 3: Plug the USB camera into the OTG adapter
Connect your webcam to the USB port on the OTG adapter. Position the camera near or above the television so it has a clear view of the room.
Step 4: Connect power
Make sure the Fire TV Stick is still receiving power through the OTG adapter setup. Without power, the device will not function correctly.
Step 5: Open Gabe Verse
Launch Gabe Verse on the Fire TV device, sign in if needed, and follow any on-screen prompts for camera or microphone access.
Step 6: Start your call
Once everything is connected, you are ready to place or receive calls and enjoy Gabe Verse on the big screen.

A standard USB webcam is often the simplest option. Many families prefer a camera that is easy to place on top of the television and offers a clear, wide picture.
