How do I enter an Amazon Prime activation code on a TV?

Answer

Open Prime Video on the TV to display a fresh code, then enter that code on Amazon's official website or app registration page while signed into the correct Amazon account. Refresh the TV code if it expires before you finish.

Before you start: stop right away if…

  • Do not read activation codes to unexpected callers or enter them on unofficial websites.

Follow these steps

  1. Display a fresh code on the TV

    Open Prime Video on the TV and choose Sign in or Register so a current activation code appears. If the code looks old, exit and reopen to generate a new one.

    You should see: A clear short code is visible on the TV.

  2. Enter the code on Amazon

    On a phone or computer, sign in to the official Amazon account and open the Prime Video register/enter-code page. Type the TV code exactly.

    You should see: Amazon confirms the device was successfully linked.

  3. Confirm playback on the TV

    Return to the TV, wait a moment for it to refresh, and start a title to verify the account is signed in.

    You should see: Prime Video plays with the signed-in Amazon account.

Extra tips

What to look for: A short on-screen code on the TV, an Amazon register or enter code page, and confirmation that the TV is linked afterward.

Before you change anything: Use the Amazon account that has Prime or Prime Video access. Enter the code only on Amazon's official site or app. Keep the TV on the code screen while you register. Never send the code to an unexpected caller.
