Why am I seeing ads on Prime Video, and how do I get rid of them?
In the United States, ad-supported viewing is now the default for Prime Video. To watch most movies and shows without ads, upgrade to Prime Video Ad Free for an additional monthly fee through Account & Settings on Prime Video. Some content — including most live sports — may still include ads even with Ad Free. The upgrade can be cancelled at any time.
How do I cancel my Prime Video subscription or an add-on channel?
To cancel a standalone Prime Video subscription, follow the Cancel My Prime Video Subscription article. To cancel a channel such as Paramount+ or AMC+ that is billed through Prime Video, use Cancel Your Prime Video Add-On Subscription. If Prime Video is included with an Amazon Prime membership, cancelling Prime — not Prime Video — ends the streaming benefit.
I see a Prime Video charge I don't recognize. What should I do?
Start with the Unknown Charges on Prime Video article, which walks through identifying the charge in Your Account, separating Prime Video subscription fees from add-on channels, rentals, and purchases. If the charge looks unauthorized, contact Amazon through the Contact Us page; Amazon may offer a refund for accidental rentals or purchases through the Cancel an Accidental Purchase process if the title has not been substantially viewed.
How many people can stream Prime Video at the same time on my account?
Amazon allows up to three simultaneous streams per account on different devices, with a limit of two streams of the same title at once. Specific limits and any country-specific variations are described in the Amazon Prime Video Terms of Use and Usage Rules. If you reach the limit, Prime Video will display an error and ask you to stop one of the active streams.
Can I watch Prime Video when I travel outside the United States?
Most Prime Video content is licensed by country, so the catalog changes — and some titles may be unavailable — when you travel abroad. Amazon’s Can I Watch Prime Video If I Travel Abroad? article explains what continues to work, what does not, and the limits on downloads for offline viewing. Using a VPN to access another region’s catalog is prohibited under the Terms of Use.
How do I set up parental controls and child profiles on Prime Video?
Open Account & Settings on Prime Video and follow the Parental Controls on Prime Video steps to create a PIN and restrict content by maturity rating. To give a child their own personalized space with age-appropriate titles, create a Kid’s profile using the Create and Manage Prime Video Profiles via Website article. Profile PINs and viewing restrictions are set per-profile.
What data does Prime Video collect about what I watch, and can I limit it?
Amazon’s privacy notice describes the personal and viewing-related information Prime Video and other Amazon services collect, including titles watched, ratings, device and connection details, and information used to serve ads. Customers can adjust some choices through Your Account — such as ad personalization, browsing-history tracking, and watch-history controls — but a subset of data collection is required for the service to operate. A 2026 class action against Amazon alleges Fire TV transmits viewing-habit data without adequate disclosure; that case is ongoing and Amazon has not publicly acknowledged the underlying claims.
