Amazon Prime Video is one of the world’s most popular streaming services. Despite this however, some aspects of it aren’t exactly user-friendly.

One common issue that people experience is that they can’t figure out how to completely log out of their Amazon account within the TV app, and it can cause some confusion.

Regardless of whether you want to log out of your own TV or remotely log out of someone else’s, in this article we’ll cover everything that you need to know!

How To Log Out Of Amazon Prime Video Directly On Your Smart TV

If you want to sign out from your TV directly, doing so is easy.

The process is exactly the same regardless of whether you’re using your smart TV’s native app, or whether you’re using a device like Roku, Apple TV or Amazon’s Fire Stick.

To log out directly on your Smart TV, follow these steps.

1. Open The App, And Click On Settings

The settings icon is located in the top-right corner and looks like the picture of a gear. You’ll know you’ve selected it, because it will be highlighted orange.

2. Navigate To The Sign Out Button On The Left-Hand Side

Click on the sign out button in the middle of your screen, and you will successfully sign out.

In fact, using Amazon’s website, you can remotely sign out of any device that your Amazon account is currently signed into – including Smart TVs and devices like Roku or Amazon’s Fire Stick.

Like signing out on the TV directly, this can be done in just a few steps.
