- Open the TV’s or Blu-ray player’s app store and search for Prime Video. If the app is already installed, open it.
- Choose the sign-in or registration option shown on screen.
- Complete registration using the option available on your device. It may offer a QR code to scan, a code to enter on Amazon’s device-registration page, a prompt in the Prime Video mobile app while your phone is on the same home network, or direct entry of your Amazon account details.
- When registration finishes, browse and play a title in the app.
If Prime Video does not appear in the app store, check compatibility for your exact TV or player model. The app’s availability on some televisions does not guarantee support for every model or every feature.

Know what signing in does—and does not—include
Registering a device gives the app access to your Amazon account; it does not make every Prime Video title available at no extra cost. Some titles may be included with a subscription, while others may require a rental, purchase, or add-on subscription. Check the title’s listing and Amazon’s Prime Video help topics for details.
