However, one major perk of membership is access to many sports, movies, and shows that air on Prime Video. If you don’t have the service yet and are looking to have the same benefits millions of others enjoy, here is how you sign up.

  • Go to Prime Video
  • Click on the “sign-in” tab in the top right corner
  • Then hit “create your account”
  • From there you will be prompted to create a name, password, and set up an email for the account
  • Then follow the instructions for setting up your membership type and how you want to be billed
