Next, install the app on your Apple TV 4K or 4th generation:
For faster access, leverage Siri: Hold the microphone button on your remote and say “Amazon Prime Video.” Swipe to install—a tip from our Siri Remote mastery guide.
Two reliable sign-in methods: Enter your email/password via Siri Remote, or register your Apple TV on Amazon's site and input the displayed code.
Browse content anonymously first to preview offerings before committing to a trial or subscription.
The intuitive interface shines with Siri navigation: Search bar, sections for TV, movies, originals, kids, and channels like Showtime. Resume playback instantly, and on Apple TV 4K, discover 4K UHD and Dolby Atmos content—perfect with top soundbars like those in our guide, The 5 Best Dolby Atmos Soundbars.
No app needed? Use AirPlay from iPhone, iPad, or Mac on the same Wi-Fi. Play in the app, tap AirPlay icon, select your Apple TV. Controls work from your device (video continues even locked), or AirPlay from Mac's menu bar.
