Streaming Amazon Prime Video on your smart TV opens up access to thousands of movies, series, and original content. If you’re setting it up for the first time, you’ll need to activate your device through amazon.com/mytv. The process is simple and takes just a few minutes.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to activate Prime Video on a smart TV or Fire Stick device — whether you’re completing Fire Stick activation or entering your My TV Code.
Step 1: Open Prime Video on Your TV
Start by launching the Prime Video app on your smart TV. If it isn’t already installed, download it from the app store. Once opened, choose “Sign in” or “Register on the Amazon website.” You’ll then see a unique activation code displayed on your screen.
This is your My TV Code — keep it visible for the next step.
Step 2: Visit amazon.com/mytv
Using your smartphone, tablet, or computer, open a web browser and go to amazon.com/mytv. Sign in to your Amazon account when prompted, then enter the activation code shown on your TV screen. This links your device to your Amazon account and enables Prime Video streaming on your smart TV.
Step 3: Complete Setup and Start Watching
Once your code is accepted, your TV will refresh automatically. From there, you’ll have full access to your Amazon Prime Video library. It’s a one-time process unless you log out or switch devices.
Activating Prime Video on Amazon Fire Stick
If you’re using a Fire Stick, setup is just as easy:
- Plug your Fire Stick into your TV’s HDMI port and connect the power cable.
- Follow the on-screen instructions for language selection and Wi-Fi connection.
- Sign in to your Amazon account. During Amazon Fire Stick setup, you may be asked to enter a code online.
- If prompted, go to amazon.com/code enter code using a web browser to complete the process.
This completes your Fire Stick registration and gets your device ready to stream.
Final Tips
- Make sure your smart TV or Fire Stick is connected to the internet.
- If your Amazon Fire Stick code doesn’t work, restart your device to generate a new one.
- Ensure you’re using the correct Amazon account during activation.
