How To Activate Prime Video Using amazon.com/mytv

To activate Prime Video with amazon.com/mytv: 1. Install and open the Prime Video app on your TV or streaming device. 2. Choose Register, Sign In, or the code/QR option. 3. Go to amazon.com/mytv or primevideo.com/mytv on your phone or computer. 4. Sign in to the Amazon account you want linked. 5. Enter the code from the TV screen and wait for the Prime Video app to refresh.

Before You Start

Amazon's current Prime Video help says there are several ways to register the Prime Video app. Depending on the device, you may see a notification in the Prime Video mobile app, a QR code to scan, a direct sign-in option, or a code to enter on the official Register a Device page. Amazon's U.S. help page links that code-entry flow to amazon.com/mytv, while Prime Video's help page also points to primevideo.com/mytv. Both are official Amazon-owned routes.

You need the Prime Video app on the TV device, a phone or computer with a browser, and the Amazon account you want to use. You do not need to create a new Amazon account if you already have one. If you were looking for the older URL-focused walkthrough, we also have a related guide to activate Prime Video via primevideo.com/mytv.

How To Activate Prime Video On A Smart TV

1. Open the TV app store. Search for Prime Video and install the official app if it is not already installed.
2. Launch Prime Video. Select Sign In, Register, or a similar prompt on the welcome screen.
3. Leave the code visible. If the TV shows a QR code, you can scan it. If it shows letters or numbers, keep that screen open.
4. Open amazon.com/mytv. Use a phone, tablet, or computer browser so the code is easier to type.
5. Sign in to Amazon. Use the same Amazon account you use for Prime Video purchases, rentals, Channels, or Prime membership.
6. Enter the TV code. Type it exactly as shown, submit it, and wait for the TV app to refresh.

If the TV offers a direct email-and-password sign-in instead of a code, that is fine. Amazon says some devices show a QR code or offer Sign in and Start Watching with your Amazon account information.

How To Activate Prime Video On Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Or Game Consoles

The steps are almost the same on streaming boxes and consoles. Install Prime Video from the Roku Channel Store, Amazon Appstore, Apple TV App Store, PlayStation Store, or Xbox store, then open the app and choose the sign-in option. Enter the displayed code at amazon.com/mytv or use the QR code if the app shows one.

On Fire TV devices, Prime Video may already be signed in with the Amazon account used to register the Fire TV. If the wrong account is attached, deregister or switch the device/account in the device settings, then open Prime Video again. On shared family TVs, double-check the account before renting a movie, buying a title, or adding a Prime Video Channel.

Supported Devices

Prime Video's official supported-device page lists Amazon devices, Blu-ray players, game consoles, mobile devices, computer browsers, set-top boxes/media players, and smart TVs as support categories. Amazon's install help says the app is available on a range of televisions, Amazon devices, mobile devices, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and streaming media devices. Because app support changes by model and region, use the official Prime Video supported devices page if you cannot find the app.

For computers, Prime Video works through supported browsers rather than a TV activation code. For phones and tablets, install the Prime Video mobile app and sign in directly. The amazon.com/mytv flow is mainly for TV screens where typing an Amazon password is awkward.

Do You Need Amazon Prime?

You need an Amazon account, but the exact content you can watch depends on what that account has. Amazon currently lists Prime at $14.99/month plus tax and says Prime includes Prime Video with movies, shows, Amazon Originals, and live sports. Prime Video also supports rentals, purchases, and add-on subscriptions, so some titles can be watched without a full Prime membership if they are rented, bought, or included in a separate Channel subscription.

If you are activating because a specific movie, show, sports event, or Prime Video Channel is missing, confirm that the Amazon account has access to that item. Activation only links the TV app to the account; it does not add a subscription by itself. If you need to stop a plan later, see our guide to cancel Prime Video and review active subscriptions inside your Amazon account.

Troubleshooting amazon.com/mytv

• The code expired: Back out of the TV sign-in screen, reopen the registration prompt, and enter the new code.
• The code is rejected: Check for similar-looking characters, make sure you are on an official Amazon page, and do not include spaces unless the page adds them automatically.
• The TV never refreshes: Restart the Prime Video app, then restart the TV or streaming device. Try the code flow again.
• The wrong account is linked: Sign out of Prime Video on the TV, sign out of Amazon in the browser, then repeat activation with the correct account.
• The app is missing: Check Amazon's supported-device pages. Older TV models may lose app support even if Prime Video worked before.
• A title asks for payment: Activation succeeded, but that title is not included with the current subscription or account.

Security Tips

Use only official Amazon or Prime Video pages for activation. Scam pages often target searches for TV activation codes and may ask for a phone call, remote access, or a fake support fee. Amazon's real registration page should only require you to sign in and enter the code from your TV. If a page asks you to call a number to activate Prime Video, close it and go directly to amazon.com/mytv.

FAQ

Is amazon.com/mytv the same as primevideo.com/mytv?
