.png){kind=small}
What is Prime Video MyTV used for?
The first time you open Prime Video on a TV, the app may display a code or a QR code instead of asking for your Amazon login credentials right away.
The Prime Video MyTV page is used to link this device to your account. Once the code is verified, the TV will connect automatically.
Prime Video MyTV is the page for registering TVs, set-top boxes, game consoles, and other devices compatible with Prime Video.
It allows you to enter the code displayed on your screen without having to type your Amazon password using a remote control. It is not intended for creating a subscription or changing your plan.
- No.|Feature|What Prime Video MyTV Offers
- 1|Register a TV|Link the TV to your Amazon account
- 2|Enter a code|Enter the code displayed in the app
- 3|Scan a QR code|Log in faster from a phone
- 4|Activate a Shared Device|Register a Compatible Device Belonging to a Co-Subscriber
- 5|Manage Access|Then remove the device from your account settings
To get started, go directly to the MyTV Prime Video activation page. Amazon will ask you to sign in before displaying the code entry field.
How do I set up Prime Video on a TV?
Activation is done from the TV and a second device, such as a phone or a computer.
- No.|Step|Action
- 1|Open the app|Launch Prime Video on your TV
- 2|Choose a connection|Select "Sign In" or "Register Device"
- 3|Get the code|Write down the code that appears or scan the QR code
- 4|Open Prime Video MyTV|Go to the page from a phone or computer
- 5|Sign In|Use the Amazon account associated with the subscription
- 6|Enter the code|Type the code exactly as shown, without adding any spaces
- 7|Submit|Confirm and wait for the TV to refresh
The TV should then display the Prime Video profiles. This procedure has been verified (August 2026).
Some devices use a slightly different method. You can receive a notification in the Prime Video mobile app, scan a QR code, or sign in directly with your Amazon credentials.
📺 If multiple methods are available, the QR code is usually the fastest. The MyTV code is still handy when scanning doesn't work.
Where can I find the Prime Video MyTV code?
The code appears directly in the Prime Video app installed on the device you want to connect.
- No.|Device|Where to find the code
- 1|Smart TV|On the "Sign In" or "Register Device" screen
- 2|Internet Box|In the Prime Video app on the box
- 3|Game console|After selecting the connection from the website
- 4|Media Player|On the Prime Video recording screen
- 5|Fire TV|Often logs in automatically with the associated Amazon account
If no code appears, open the app, select "Sign In," and then look for the option to sign in from another device.
The code is not in your Amazon account or in an email. It is generated by the device you want to connect.
Do not reuse an old code saved in a photo. If it has expired, generate a new one from the app.
What should I do if the Prime Video code doesn't work?
- No.|Problem|Probable Cause|Solution
- 1|Invalid code|Typing error or expired code|Generate a new code and retype it without spaces
- 2|Wrong account displayed|Signed in to a different Amazon account|Sign out of the browser and use your subscriber account
- 3|The TV isn't responding|App is frozen or the connection is unstable|Close the app, restart the TV, and check the network
- 4|No code appears|Outdated app or other login method|Update the app and look for the QR code
- 5|Prime Video is still unavailable|Subscription is inactive|Check the status of your Amazon Prime or Prime Video subscription
- 6|App not found|TV not compatible|Use a compatible set-top box or streaming device
- 7|Black screen after logging in|App or network issue|Restart the device and temporarily disable the VPN
After verification, wait a few moments before trying again. Sending multiple codes in quick succession can make it difficult to identify the correct screen.
If the TV remains frozen:
- Close Prime Video completely
- Restart the TV
- Check your Internet connection
- Reopen the app
- Generate a new code
- Try activating it again from a web browser
Also, temporarily disable any VPN or proxy. Prime Video may deny access if the account's location and the device's location don't match.
