If you just installed the Prime Video app on your smart TV, you probably saw a 6-digit code on the screen and a request to visit amazon.com/mytv. That short link is the fastest way to connect your TV to your Amazon account so you can start streaming movies, shows, and live sports. This guide walks you through the entire process of using amazon.com/mytv, what to do if the code does not work, and how to fix the most common sign-in problems.

​
What is amazon.com/mytv?

amazon.com/mytv is the official activation page Amazon uses to link a device (smart TV, streaming stick, gaming console, or Blu-ray player) to your Prime Video account. Instead of typing your email and password on the TV with a remote, you enter a short code on any browser and the device gets signed in automatically. You will need three things:
  1. An active Amazon Prime or Prime Video membership.
  2. The Prime Video app installed on your TV or streaming device.
  3. A phone, tablet, or computer to open amazon.com/mytv.

​
How do I Enter the Code for Prime Video on my TV?

Follow these steps to activate Prime Video using amazon.com/mytv:
1

Open the Prime Video app on your TV

Turn on your TV, launch the Prime Video app, and choose Sign in and start enjoying. A 6-character registration code will appear on the screen.
2

Go to amazon.com/mytv

On your phone or computer, open a web browser and visit amazon.com/mytv. Sign in with the same email and password you use for your Amazon Prime account.
3

Enter the 6-digit code

Type the code exactly as it appears on your TV screen and click Continue. Codes are case sensitive and expire after about 10 minutes.
4

Confirm and start streaming

Once the code is accepted, your TV will refresh automatically and Prime Video will load your library. You are ready to watch.
If the code expires before you enter it, go back to your TV and select Get a new code, then repeat the process on amazon.com/mytv.

​
Common problems with amazon.com/mytv

Even though the process is short, a few things can go wrong. Here are the fixes that resolve most issues.
Codes are only valid for about 10 minutes. Request a new code on your TV, refresh the amazon.com/mytv page, and try again. Also double-check that you are signing in to the correct Amazon account.
The letter O and the number 0 look similar, as do 1 and I. Type the code slowly and match uppercase letters. If it still fails, restart the Prime Video app to generate a fresh code.
Clear your browser cache, disable VPN or ad blockers, and reload amazon.com/mytv. Trying a different browser or switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data usually solves this.
This normally means your device was signed out remotely. Visit amazon.com/mytv, enter the new code, and make sure the device is listed under Your Account > Digital Content and Devices.

How to sign out from amazon.com/mytv

If you want to remove a TV or streaming device from your Prime Video account:
  1. Go to amazon.com/mytv and sign in.
  2. Open Your Account > Content and Devices > Devices.
  3. Select the device you want to remove and click Deregister.
This is useful when you sell a TV, move to a new house, or share a device with family.
