How to link your Amazon account to your TV?

Step 1 — Access the Amazon Prime Video App on Your TV

  • Turn on your Smart TV or streaming device that supports Amazon Prime Video.

  • Open the Prime Video app. If it is not installed, download it from your TV’s app store or the Amazon website

Step 2 — Start the Sign-In Process

  • In the Prime Video app, select “Sign in and start watching”.

  • You will be prompted to either sign in directly or get a registration code. For most modern TVs, choose “Register on the Amazon website.”

Step 3 — Get Your MyTV Code

  • A 5-character registration code or web code will display on your TV screen.

  • Keep this screen open while you complete the next step on your computer or mobile device.

Step 4 — Enter Your Code on Amazon.com

  • On a computer, tablet, or smartphone, go to www.amazon.com/mytv.

  • Sign in to your Amazon account if you are not already logged in.

  • Enter the 5-character code shown on your TV and click “Register”. You may need to confirm the device type or location.

Step 5 — Confirmation

  • Once the code is successfully entered, your TV will automatically refresh, and you will be logged into Prime Video.

  • You can now browse content and start streaming.

Alternative Methods

  • QR Code Login: Some Smart TVs provide a QR code on the sign-in screen. Use your mobile device to scan it and authorize your TV. This bypasses typing the code manually.

  • Direct Password Entry: Older TVs may allow you to sign in by directly entering your Amazon username and password instead of a web code .

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Ensure your TV is connected to the internet.

  • If the code expires (usually after 10 minutes), generate a new mytv code on your TV.

  • Check that you are entering the code exactly as displayed (case-sensitive).

  • Restart the Prime Video app or TV if the login fails, then repeat the steps
