How to Put Amazon Prime on Your Smart TV

If you own a smart TV, you can enjoy thousands of movies and series from Amazon Prime without the need for an external streaming box. This guide walks you through the easiest methods, so you can start watching your favorite shows in minutes.

Why Use Amazon Prime on a Smart TV?

Streaming Amazon Prime directly on a smart TV delivers a larger screen, better sound, and a more comfortable viewing experience than a phone or tablet. You also get access to the full library of original content, exclusive deals, and the ability to use voice control on compatible models.

Here are three ways to get Amazon Prime on your Smart TV

Method 1: Use the Built‑In Amazon Prime Video App

  1. Check compatibility. Most major brands—Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio—include the Prime Video app in their app store.
  2. Open the app store. From your TV’s home screen, navigate to the app marketplace (often called “Apps,” “Smart Hub,” or “Google Play Store”).
  3. Search for “Prime Video”. Use the on‑screen keyboard to type the name and select the official Amazon app.
  4. Download and install. Follow the on‑screen prompts to install the app. This usually takes less than a minute on a high‑speed connection.
  5. Sign in. Launch the app, choose “Sign In,” and use your Amazon credentials. If you have two‑step verification enabled, you’ll be prompted to enter the code sent to your phone.
  6. Start watching. Once logged in, you can browse, search, and play any title from your Amazon Prime library.
