Amazon’s Prime Video service offers individual user profiles for your family, just likeNetflix.
It’s a simple feature to set up, and it’s available globally. Here is everything you need to know aboutAmazon Prime Videouser profiles and how to set them up.
What are Amazon Prime Video user profiles?
Prime Video allows you to create and manage multiple user profiles within one account. This enables each member of your household to have a more personalised experience when using thestreaming service.
Each profile has separate recommendations, watch history, season progress, and watch lists.
How many user profiles per Prime Video account?
Each Prime Video account can have up to six user profiles.
One profile must serve as the primary account holder, and then that person can add up to five additional profiles, either for adults or kids. It’s worth noting a profile for kids restricts the type of content available to stream.
How to create Amazon Prime Video user profiles
As a Prime member, you can create an Amazon Household, which allows you to connect and share your Amazon Prime benefits with your whole family. Two adults and up to four teenagers and four children can make up your Amazon Household. Sharing benefits through Amazon Household requires both adults to link their accounts in anAmazon Householdand agree to share payment methods. Each adult keeps their personal account while sharing.

How many simultaneous streams are allowed?
Users on one Prime Video account can simultaneously stream up to three videos, though no more than two devices can stream the same video at the same time.
How do purchases work on shared accounts?
An Amazon Household requires two adults to link their accounts and agree to share payment methods. Each adult keeps his or her personal account while sharing. Purchases are disabled in Kids' profiles. To block Kids from purchasing on non-Kids profiles, you may enable purchase restrictions under Prime Video settings.
