How to Activate Amazon.com/MyTV
These instructions will help you register your TV using your TV's activation code. You may follow slightly different instructions depending on your device.
Step 1: Open Prime Video on Your TV
Turn on your Smart TV and connect it to the internet.
Open your TV's app store if Prime Video is not installed. Search for Prime Video and, if supported, install and launch it.
Step 2: Select the Sign-In Option
Open your app and look for:
- Sign In
- Sign In and Start Watching
- Register on the Amazon Website
The phrasing may vary depending on your television model.
Step 3: Find Your Activation Code
After selecting an option, your TV may show you a registration code.
Do not navigate away from this screen while proceeding with the activation instructions on your phone or computer. If your TV shows a QR code instead of a registration code, follow the instructions it shows you.
Step 4: Open Amazon.com/MyTV
On your phone or computer, open a web browser and go to https://www.amazon.com/mytv.
Make sure the web address is correct and belongs to Amazon before proceeding.
Step 5: Sign In to Your Amazon Account
If you are not already signed in, enter your Amazon account details if you are asked to do so.
Make sure you are signing in with the account that you want your TV to use. If you have multiple Amazon accounts, it is essential to check which account you are currently signed in with.
Step 6: Enter the Registration Code
If you are asked to do so, type in the code that your TV displayed.
Make sure you type in the correct characters before submitting the code. You should follow any additional instructions that are given on the registration page.
Step 7: Complete Device Registration
Select the registration or confirmation option that is displayed.
Wait for your Smart TV to refresh itself. After registration is successful, the Prime Video interface should open to its home screen or account interface. You can now view the content that is accessible with your account.
Pro Tip: Use the QR Code Instead
Many newer TVs show a QR code alongside the text code. Scan it with your phone's camera, and it should take you straight to the activation page with the code pre-filled. Way faster and less error-prone than typing.

⚠️ One Big Warning — Read This
There's a nasty scam going around where people enter their MyTV code and then get a popup saying their account is compromised and they need to call a "support number." Amazon will never ask you to call a phone number to validate your account. If you see that, close the window immediately. Don't call the number. Don't download anything they tell you to download. It's a scam, and people have lost hundreds of dollars to it.
