If you make your setup properly in TV Boss Fire, Amazon has all the information and the correct information for every field.
After the feed is validated, click on create.
From the next page, you can preview your channel, click finish, or choose to edit how your channel will look on Amazon Fire.
Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t offer many styling options, but you can still play with some colors; if you wish.
You can choose a light or a dark theme, play around with the colors, and so on.

TV Boss Fire.

Remember not to use any special characters or spaces.
When you finish your
setup, click finish amazon will make another check, then click publish to your channel.
On the next page, you need to add some basic information about your channel and, of course, the branding images.

Suppose your channel has already been approved and is live on Roku. In that case, Amazon will usually approve your channel unless they found special characters in your setup or if they find any copyrighted content.
That’s it. Publishing a channel on Amazon fire takes effectively only a couple of minutes.
