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

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.

  3. Typing the activation code with spaces or wrong characters
