Signing out of Prime Video on your Firestick might seem tricky at first, but I’ll walk you through the process step by step. It’s actually simpler than most people think, and knowing how to do this properly can be especially helpful when you’re sharing your device or want to switch between different Amazon accounts.
Why You Might Need to Sign Out
Before we dive into the steps, let’s talk about why you might need to sign out. Maybe you’re sharing your Firestick with roommates, selling your device, or just need to switch between different Prime accounts. Whatever the reason, it’s important to know how to manage your account access properly.
Step-by-Step Sign Out Process
1. From your Firestick home screen, scroll to find and select ‘Settings’ (the gear icon)
2. Navigate to ‘Applications’
3. Select ‘Manage Installed Applications’
4. Scroll until you find ‘Prime Video’
5. Click on ‘Prime Video’ and select ‘Clear Data’
Important Note About Clear Data
When you clear data, you’re essentially signing out of the app. Don’t worry – this won’t affect your Prime Video account or watching history. It just removes your login information from this specific device.
Alternative Method
There’s also another way to sign out directly through the Prime Video app:
1. Open Prime Video
2. Go to ‘My Stuff’ at the bottom
3. Select the gear icon (Settings)
4. Scroll down and select ‘Sign Out’
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes in 2025, you might find that the app seems stuck or won’t let you sign out. In these cases, try force-stopping the app first:
1. Go back to ‘Manage Installed Applications’
2. Select ‘Prime Video’
3. Choose ‘Force Stop’
4. Then proceed with clearing data
After Signing Out
Once you’ve signed out, you’ll need to sign back in the next time you want to use Prime Video. Keep your Amazon account credentials handy. If you’re planning to let someone else use the device, make sure they have their own Amazon account ready to go.
Remember, signing out of Prime Video doesn’t automatically sign you out of your Amazon account on the Firestick itself. If you want to completely remove your Amazon account from the device, you’ll need to do that separately through the Firestick’s main settings.
I’ve helped countless people with this process, and the most common mistake I see is people trying to sign out through the wrong menu. Just remember – when in doubt, clearing data through the application settings is your most reliable option.
