Streaming services have become an essential part of our entertainment routine, but sometimes you need to sign out of Prime Video – whether you’re using a shared device or just want to secure your account. Let me walk you through the different ways to log out, depending on your device.
Logging Out on Your Computer
The easiest way to sign out of Prime Video on your desktop or laptop is through your web browser. Head over to Prime Video’s website, click on the “Account & Settings” menu (it’s that little profile icon in the top-right corner), and select “Sign Out.” It’s that straightforward! I’ve helped countless friends with this, and it takes less than 10 seconds.
Mobile Device Sign-Out Process
If you’re using the Prime Video app on your phone or tablet, the process is slightly different. Open the app, tap on “My Stuff” at the bottom of the screen, then select the gear icon for Settings. Scroll down until you find “Sign Out” – it’s usually near the bottom. Remember to sign out of each device individually, as logging out on one device won’t automatically sign you out everywhere.
Smart TV and Streaming Devices
For those watching on smart TVs or streaming sticks, you’ll want to:
– Navigate to Settings
– Select “Account & Privacy” or similar
– Choose “Sign Out” or “Deregister Device”
Important Tips to Remember
Here’s something many people don’t realize – signing out of Prime Video doesn’t automatically sign you out of your Amazon account. If you’re using a shared computer or want complete privacy, make sure to log out of Amazon.com separately.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes in 2025, you might encounter the stubborn “Can’t sign out” problem. If this happens, try force-closing the app or clearing your browser cache. I’ve found that clearing the cache solves about 90% of these issues.
Security Best Practices
Before you log out, consider whether you need to change your password or enable two-factor authentication. I always recommend doing this if you’ve been using a public device or suspect someone might have access to your account. It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to protecting your streaming experience.
Remember, if you’re signing out because you’re planning to share your device with someone else, take a moment to clear your viewing history first. This way, your watchlist and recommendations won’t get mixed up with theirs when they sign in with their own account.
