PrimeVideo.com/MyTV – Enter Code & Activate Smart TV

Q: Where do I enter the Prime Video TV activation code?

When you open Prime Video on your TV and choose Sign In, a unique activation code appears on the screen. Using your phone, tablet, or computer, visit the official Prime Video activation page, sign in to your Amazon account, and enter the code exactly as shown. Once submitted, your TV will refresh automatically and complete the setup.

Q: Can I activate Prime Video without a remote?

Yes, in many cases you can. If your TV supports HDMI-CEC or a mobile control feature, you can use a smartphone remote app or the physical buttons on your TV to navigate to the Prime Video sign-in screen and generate the activation code.

Q: Can I use my phone to activate Prime Video on TV?

Yes, that’s how the process is designed to work. Keep the Prime Video app open on your TV, then use your phone’s web browser to enter the activation code and sign in to your Amazon account. The TV will update automatically once the connection is successful.

If Prime Video is asking you to visit PrimeVideo.com/MyTV and enter a code, you are stuck at the activation screen.
Your TV app cannot sign in by itself and needs to be linked to your Amazon account.

This guide shows the exact steps to activate Prime Video MyTV and start streaming on your TV.

Quick Summary

Open the Prime Video app on your TV to get the 6–8 digit activation code. Next, go to PrimeVideo.com/MyTV on your phone or computer, sign in to your Amazon account, and enter the code to quickly link and activate your TV.
