We can connect any media device (laptop, DVD player, Betemax (considering our audience!)) directly to the TV or projector.
Of course. I have my laptop setup in the cafeteria. We could setup another laptop in there as well. My idea was to have access to YouTube, Disney+, Netflix, CBS All Access, Prime Video. I had not planned on doing a projector because we tried that last year without much success. Too much trouble (hours of preparation and hooking up) to get a projector, screen, speakers etc. for only 5 people to show up. The point is to make it simple and casual.

No, it doesn't. it just seems to be the easiest way to plug into a smart TV and connect to the Wi-Fi and show whatever movies or TV show and she wants. Do you have something else in mind?

Does it have to be a fire stick?

A few years ago we had a contest to come up with the worst movie. A few years too late I have my pick. I will be showing it at Festivus. It will be a surprise. You will all think that it is horrible.
I plan on using my laptop to show movies, etc. in the cafeteria. It will mostly be background noise and diversion since that room isn't conducive to movie watching or hearing what's on the TV very well. But, I also bought a FireStick and if anyone wants to watch movies in the lounge area, then I can make that available. The lounge area is more of a proper movie room because it is quiet, dark and has comfy chairs.
Looks like my FireStick won't make it in time for Festivus. Does anyone have one that we can borrow for Saturday?
We will also be showing Chris Liendo's Commodore video.
