How to Watch Amazon Prime Video on a Smart TV 

Amazon Prime Video is only available for certain smart TVs. If you have a smart TV and want to watch Amazon Prime Video on it, here's how you can do it:

Cast Using the Mobile App 

You can cast Amazon Prime Video to your TV by installing the mobile app, which is available for iOS and Android. Once you've installed it on your phone, open it up and tap or click the Cast icon at the top of the screen. On an iPhone or iPad, this will be in the top right corner; on an Android device, it's likely to be in a box that appears when you pull down from the top menu bar of whatever app you're using (if there isn't one already).

Once you've tapped or clicked to initiate casting, select which device on which you want to watch Amazon Prime (for example "TCL Mini LED TV" if that's what your TV is called). Then choose whether or not you want to cast over wireless network connections as opposed to just through HDMI cables (which aren't always convenient). Your content should start streaming immediately!

Cast Using Your Computer 

With your computer, you can cast Amazon Prime Video to your TV using the Chrome browser.

First, open up the browser on your computer and navigate to Amazon.com/Video. Then, click "Streaming Devices" in the left sidebar menu and select which streaming device you want (for example Apple TV).

Next, click on the "Cast" button at the top right corner of your screen. This will bring up a list of available devices for you to choose from; select which one you want and then select whether or not you want to cast over wireless network connections. Your content should start streaming immediately!

If you're having trouble casting Amazon Prime Video to your TV, try restarting both devices and making sure that the Chrome browser is up-to-date.
