How to Get Amazon Prime Video on Your TV

Amazon Prime Video is one of the most popular subscription streaming services, offering original content and an extensive on-demand entertainment library. You can even rent new releases on Amazon Prime Video, and with over 24,000 movies and 2,100 shows to choose from, you’ll never run out of things to watch!

Not to be outdone by other streaming platforms, your Amazon Prime membership gives you access to Prime Video in addition to free 2-day shipping, Amazon Music, Amazon Photos, and Amazon Gaming. If you’d rather just stick with streaming, a standalone membership to Amazon Prime Video costs just $8.99/month.

Amazon Prime Video has been around long enough to be available on most devices. However, there are some exceptions, especially when it comes to older Smart TV models. Luckily, almost everyone has a streaming device these days, so accessing Amazon Prime Video won’t be a problem for most people. 

How to get Amazon Prime Video on your TV?

Amazon Prime Video is easy to install on your device. Smart TV owners will find the built-in application convenient to access. Before downloading the app on your TV, make sure you already have an existing account with Amazon or create one here.

• Step 1: Start from your Home screen
• Step 2: Navigate the “App Store” or “Channels” menu on your device
• Step 3: Search for Amazon Prime Video
• Step 4: Download the Amazon Prime Video app by clicking the downward arrow icon
• Step 5: Once the download has finished installing, open the application
• Step 6: Select “Sign in” and enter your account credentials as prompted

Amazon Prime Video supported devices

As you can see, virtually every device can grant you access to the Amazon Prime Video app. Whether it’s an Amazon Fire Stick or your Xbox, you can count on being able to catch everything Amazon Prime Video has to offer. This means that you can access your Amazon Prime Video account from almost any location — your tablet, smartphone, a friend’s TV, or anywhere you may want to watch your favorite shows and movies. 

However, something to note is that Smart TVs older than 2016 typically don’t support Amazon Prime Video. Fortunately, streaming devices, like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, can help you work around this issue. Some devices start at just $29.99 and will grant you access to your favorite streaming services, channels, and apps.
