New Delhi: Amazon is set to introduce changes to its device-sharing rules starting January 2025 and it may not be ideal for everyone. Currently, Prime members can stream Prime Video on up to five devices, including TVs. However, with the new update Prime Video streaming would be limited to two televisions per account. An additional subscription will be required if you wish to watch it on a third TV. This shift is set to impact how Prime members access content on multiple devices.

According to an official statement from the company, “As part of your Prime membership, you and your household are entitled to enjoy Prime Video on up to five devices. Starting January 2025, we are updating our usage terms in India to include up to two TVs as part of your five devices entitlement. You can manage your devices on your Settings page or buy another Prime membership to watch Prime Video on more devices."

Currently, Amazon Prime subscribers can log in to Prime Video on up to 10 devices which include phones, laptops, tablets, and TVs. However, with the new rules coming into effect, this limit will be reduced to five devices.
