Amazon Mytv Help - How to Enter Code on Your TV

When I opened Amazon Prime Video on my Smart TV for the first time, I honestly thought I’d have to type my email and password using the remote.

Instead, a screen appeared saying:

“Go to amazon.com/mytv and enter the code shown on your TV.”

At first, it felt a little confusing. But once I did it, the whole process took less than two minutes. In this blog, I’m sharing my real experience so you can activate Prime Video on your TV without any stress.

How the Code Appeared on My TV?

Here’s exactly what I did:

1. Turned on my Smart TV

2. Opened the Prime Video app

3. Selected Sign In / Register

4. A screen appeared with a 6-digit code and instructions to visit amazon.com/mytv

That’s when I realized the TV doesn’t need login details at all.

How I Entered the Code on amazon.com/mytv

Step 1: Used My Phone

I picked up my phone while the code was still visible on the TV screen.

Step 2: Opened amazon.com/mytv

I typed amazon.com/mytv in the browser. A clean login page opened.

Step 3: Signed In to My Amazon Account

I logged in using the same Amazon account that already had Prime Video.

Step 4: Entered the TV Code

I entered the code shown on the TV and clicked Register.

👉 Within seconds, my TV screen refreshed automatically, and Prime Video was ready to use.

When the Code Didn’t Work (Yes, This Happened)

The first time, I waited too long and the code expired.
But the fix was very simple:

• Went back to the TV

• Selected Get a New Code

• Entered the new code on amazon.com/mytv

• It worked instantly

Tip from experience: Don’t delay. Codes expire quickly.

What I Learned (Helpful Tips)

Based on my experience:

• Use the same Amazon account that has Prime Video

• Keep the TV screen active while entering the code

• Turn off VPNs during activation

• Make sure your internet connection is stable

These small things make the process smooth.

Final Thoughts (My Honest Experience)

At first, the amazon.com/mytv screen felt confusing.
But once I tried it, I realized it’s actually much easier than signing in on a TV remote.

What I expected to take 10–15 minutes was done in under 2 minutes.

If your TV is showing a code and asking you to visit amazon.com/mytv, don’t worry — just enter the code and start streaming.
