How Do I Register My Tv For Amazon Prime

Download Article

Since you've purchased a new Amazon-enabled TV, like a smart TV, you need to know how to register it to use your Amazon account, like Prime Video. All Amazon TVs can sign in with the app, but you can also use the website, which is ideal for you if you need to create an Amazon account. This wikiHow will show you both methods of registering your TV on Amazon.

1

Power on your Fire TV or TV and Fire stick. If your TV or stick is not an Amazon Fire TV or Fire stick, this method will not work.
2

Sign into your Amazon account. If you don't have an account, you'll be prompted to create one.
3

Press the HOME button on your remote. You'll stay signed into your account until you log out manually.

1
Download and install Prime Video. It's the video streaming app from Amazon that you can get for free from the App store (if you're using an AppleTV) or the Google Play Store (if you don't have an AppleTV). Don't use this method if you have a Fire TV or Fire TV Stick.
- This method is ideal if you have an Amazon account already created.
2
Open Prime Video. This app icon simply says "Prime Video" on a blue background.
- You can either continue with this method or continue using a web browser, which is best to use if you don't have an Amazon account.
3
Select Sign in and start watching . If you aren't immediately prompted to log in, navigate to and select Sign In in the upper left corner of your screen.
- This might say something similar to Sign in on your Samsung device instead.
4
Log into your Amazon account. Enter your email address or phone number and Amazon password then select Sign in using our secure server.
- Depending on your security settings, you may be prompted to enter a code that Amazon sent in a text message to your phone or in the Authenticator App. ^[1]
