Before you can watch a single episode on Prime Video, you need to register your TV at amazon.com/mytv and link it to an Amazon account. If you are new to Amazon, you will also need to create a free account first. This guide covers both: creating your Amazon Mytv account and registering any streaming device at amazon.com/mytv.

​
What is an Amazon Mytv account?

An Amazon Mytv account is simply your regular Amazon account used to activate Prime Video on smart TVs and streaming devices through amazon.com/mytv. The same login gives you access to:
  • Prime Video movies and shows
  • Prime shipping benefits
  • Amazon Music and Kindle books
  • Device management from amazon.com/mytv
You do not need a separate Mytv account. One Amazon account works everywhere.

​
Create an Amazon account for amazon.com/mytv

1

Visit amazon.com/mytv

Open a browser on your phone or computer and go to amazon.com/mytv. Click Create your Amazon account.
2

Fill in your details

Enter your full name, mobile number or email, and a strong password. Amazon will send a one-time verification code.
3

Verify your identity

Type the verification code and click Create your Amazon account. Your Mytv account is now active.
4

Subscribe to Prime Video

Head to Prime membership and pick a plan (monthly or yearly). A free 30-day trial is available in most countries.
Use an email you check often. Amazon sends amazon.com/mytv sign-in alerts and Prime Video receipts to that address.

​
Register your TV at amazon.com/mytv

Once your account exists, connect it to any device using the 6-digit code flow.
1

Open Prime Video on your TV

Launch the Prime Video app and select Sign in and start enjoying. A 6-digit code appears on the screen.
2

Go to amazon.com/mytv

On your phone or laptop, open a browser and visit amazon.com/mytv. Sign in with the Amazon account you just created.
3

Enter the 6-digit code

Type the code exactly as shown on your TV and click Continue. Codes expire in about 10 minutes.
4

Name your device

Give the device a friendly name such as “Living Room TV” so it is easy to spot in your amazon.com/mytv device list later.
5

Start streaming

Your TV refreshes automatically and Prime Video opens with your full library ready to watch.

​
What you can do after registering at amazon.com/mytv

Once a device is linked through amazon.com/mytv, your Amazon Mytv account unlocks a full set of features:
  • Watchlist sync across every registered TV, phone, and tablet.
  • Continue watching picks up where you left off on any device.
  • Profiles let each family member keep their own recommendations.
  • Parental controls with a Prime Video PIN for kid-safe streaming.
  • Purchases and rentals billed directly to your Amazon account.

​
Troubleshooting Amazon Mytv account setup

Some brand new accounts need email verification first. Open your inbox, click the Amazon verification link, and retry amazon.com/mytv.
On amazon.com/mytv click Forgot password, enter your email or mobile number, and follow the reset link. Then re-enter the code from your TV.
Prime Video is available in most regions but not everywhere. If your country is missing, visit primevideo.com to check availability, then return to amazon.com/mytv.
Keep your phone nearby. Amazon will send a one-time password before letting the new device register.

Security tips for your Amazon Mytv account

  1. Turn on two-step verification in Login and security.
  2. Never share your amazon.com/mytv 6-digit code with anyone.
  3. Review linked devices every few months at Content and Devices > Devices.
  4. Set a Prime Video PIN so registered TVs cannot buy content without approval.
