Amazon Prime Video is a great service for streaming movies and TV shows. But if you want to keep your children from watching inappropriate content, you need to set up parental controls. Here are some tips on how to do this:
- Choose the right parental controls. There are many different types of parental controls available on Amazon Prime Video, so it’s important to choose the ones that will work best for your family. Some common options include: -Restrictions on viewing time: You can set up a time limit on when your child can watch a particular movie or TV show, and then require them to sign in before they can watch it. This will help keep them from watching something that might be harmful or inappropriate. -Restrictions on watching certain types of content: You can also set up restrictions on what type of content your child can watch, such as only watching certain types of movies or TV shows after specific hours or days. This will help them stay safe while watching television and movies. -Password protection: If you want to keep track of who has access to your child’s Amazon Prime Video account and what content they have watched, you can use password protection features. This will make it difficult for anyone other than you and your child to access any information about what they have watched or how much time they have spent on Amazon Prime Video.
- Set up an account with Amazon Prime Video . Once you have chosen the right parental controls, it’s time to create an Amazon PrimeVideo account so that you can manage them from there. To do this, go to amazon prime video >account >create new account . After creating an account, enter in your name and email address (if different from the one used for your AmazonPrimeVideo account). You will also need to choose a password (if using password protection). After setting up these details, you should be able to manage all of your child
This page lets you configure Prime Video parental controls. At the top of the page, you can click the “Change” button next to Prime Video PIN to set a five-digit PIN for Prime Video.

Under “PIN on Purchase,” select “On” to prevent people from spending any money on Prime Video without your permission. You’ll have to enter the PIN every time someone rents or buys something on your account.
You can also select “Off” and you won’t have to enter a PIN whenever you purchase something. This is useful if you’re the only one who uses your account, for example.
For example, if you select age 7, anyone will be able to watch either G or age 7 rated videos, but will need your PIN to watch age 13 or 18 rated videos.
Choose the devices to which you want to apply these parental controls under the “Apply Viewing Restrictions To” section. All your connected devices are checked by default, but you can uncheck specific devices if you don’t want to be bothered by your PIN on them.
For example, you might want to apply the viewing restrictions to devices connected to your TV and tablets your children use, but not to your own personal iPad that only you use.
