A blue light flashes on your remote as a way for FireStick to let you know it’s working behind the scenes to make sure you’re happy, which sounds scary at first, but is actually a good thing. It means your remote is actively communicating, either waiting for a command or trying to connect.
Here’s what it could mean:
Your FireStick remote is light up? You may have tried pairing it with your FireStick, but it may be in pairing mode. You may have to update your remote’s firmware. Streaming uninterrupted once again is possible if Alexa is active and ready to accept voice commands. Let’s fix this issue so that you can enjoy uninterrupted streaming again!
