In my Prime (Video)
February 23, 2022 7:22 AM Subscribe
I am in a rental condo through March. The TV has only ROKU, through which I’ve been watching some Amazon Prime shows. I’ve also watched some Amazon Prime shows on my laptop.
Before I leave the condo, do I have to do anything to disable my Amazon Prime on the TV? If it makes any difference, I never activated Prime Video before I was in this condo.
If you're using a roku app on the tv itself, you should be able to factory reset the tv instead. It'll be somewhere in the settings, probably under "system" or "about."
If you can't easily find the factory reset, look in the settings for an info screen with the model (ie xr55x90j) or on the back for the model and instructions for a factory reset should be just a search away.

Heh... Prime Video... We share a single account amongst multiple TV's using Roku devices.
A few years back, late one night I clicked on a stupidly named movie to see if it was actually that insane... (Noped-out after about 7-10 minutes)
...And for about a year afterwords all the family would rib me about my viewing habits...
So - I agree with "GCU..." remove the device from Amazon Prime web-based settings, next logout and delete the Amazon Prime video app and finally factory-reset the Roku...

Wiping the Roku doesn't wipe your viewing history from Amazon's servers, but I'm sure you already figured that out.

Yeah - thanks to that, I was finally able to teach them about ... "Profiles"...

I'm not an expert on Roku or Amazon Prime, but doing a factory reset seems like overkill to me. I would just log out of Amazon Prime and not worry about doing any resets.

You should also be able to de-authorise that Roku from Amazon, if you forget to sign out on the device itself.
