How Do You Stream Amazon Prime on TV?
You can stream Amazon Prime on your TV by opening the Prime Video app on a smart TV or streaming device and signing in with your Amazon account. If your TV does not have the app built in, you can still watch Prime Video by using a Roku, Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, game console, or by casting from your phone. You can also connect a laptop to your TV with HDMI.
The Short Answer
- Open the Prime Video app on your TV or streaming device
- Sign in with your Amazon account
- If needed, install the app first
- If your TV is not smart, use a streaming device or HDMI cable
The Easiest Ways to Watch
If you have a smart TV, look for the Prime Video app in the apps menu and sign in.
If you do not have a smart TV, use a streaming device like Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV. Amazon also says you can watch Prime Video on supported smart TVs, streaming media players, game consoles, mobile devices, and on the web.
What If the App Is Missing?
If the app is not already on your TV, check your TV’s app store and install it.
If your TV does not support the app, a separate streaming device is usually the easiest fix. Roku’s device pages and Amazon’s Prime Video help both support that setup.
Best Simple Answer
To stream Amazon Prime on TV, open the Prime Video app on a smart TV or streaming device and sign in. If your TV does not support it, plug in a streaming device or connect a laptop with HDMI.
