How to Enable Parental Controls on Amazon prime Video
1. Go to amazon prime video website and login with your amazon account.
2. Click on the profile icon at the top right of the website and choose the Accounts & Settings option.
3. You will see a list of options at the top. In that select Parental Controls settings.
4. Here you will see an option to enter the Parental Controls PIN Code. Enter a 5 digit pin number and take a note of it somewhere and click on the Save button. Now the Parental Controls is enabled on your prime account.
5. Now you have to set up the age restriction based on the video ratings. If you have chosen to enable restrictions for all videos you must enter the pin to watch every video.
6. Now if you enable the “All option” like in the above screenshot, you will have to enter the pin every time you watch videos on prime video. So make the pin easy to remember and enter but not so guessable by your children.
7. There will be 4 other options like 7+ for kids, 13+ for Teens, 16+ for Young Adults, and 18+ for Adults. Choose your option based on your kid’s age or your preference.
8. You will also have option to apply the viewing option to logged-in devices shown below on the page. You can select which devices you want to apply those video viewing restrictions separately like in the screenshot below.
Kindly note that these Viewing restrictions apply only on devices like smartphones and computers. On Fire TV and Xbox, you have to log in with those devices and set up the parental controls restrictions there as well.
Now, whenever your kids try to watch an age-restricted video above the selected age, the website will ask for a pin code before proceeding. Also, this PIN feature will work across devices like Amazon Fire TV stick, Airtel Xstream Android box and other android tv or smartphones.
