AirPlay is one of the handy features available on Apple devices to share video and other media content from iOS or Mac devices to AirPlay-compatible devices. Unfortunately, the AirPlay feature is not available for Firestick. However, you can use some third-party apps like AirScreen to AirPlay your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to Firestick. In addition, some of the Fire TV models are AirPlay compatible. If you are lucky enough and your Fire TV is AirPlay compatible, then you can directly AirPlay to Fire TV by enabling the AirPlay option.
