How to Share Amazon Prime Videos with Family
As more and more streaming services raise their prices, you may have to pay more when you want to watch your favorite shows. Also, Netflix is starting to have stricter account restrictions such as password sharing and so on. That means you can no longer share the same account with other members of your family or your friends by sharing passwords. While Amazon Video has yet to release such restrictive initiatives, if you’re sharing your account with someone who doesn’t live with you, Amazon could potentially cut you off, since it’s not strictly allowed. So how do you share Amazon videos with family members who don't live together?
How to Share Amazon Prime Videos with family via Amazon Household
Amazon Household is a family-friendly feature that connects up to six Amazon users under one account. You can share e-books, audiobooks, apps, and games from your Family Library on Amazon-supported apps and devices. If you subscribed to a Prime membership, you can split the benefits. Your Amazon Household may include two adults and up to four teens.
Step 1. Open your web browser and visit the Amazon Household web page.
Step 2. Sign in to your Amazon account.
Step 3. Once you've signed in, the website redirects you to the Amazon Household page. Tap Add Adult or Add a Teen.
Step 4. Type a name and email address for the new member. Then select Continue.
Step 5. Amazon prompts you to share your wallet. Tap Agree and continue to give your consent.
Step 61. Select which content you want to share in the Family Library with your member. Uncheck the boxes if you only want them to have access to Amazon Prime Video. Then tap Continue.
Step 7. Tap Send Invite. Your invitee should receive an email shortly. They have 14 days to accept the invitation and log in to their accounts for verification.
Step 8. Once they have been one of the Household members, you can sign in to your account on your browser or the mobile app to begin streaming with them.
