Sign in to Peacock through Amazon Prime Video

You can watch Peacock through Amazon Prime Video without creating a separate Peacock account. If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you can add Peacock as a channel and sign in using your Amazon credentials. This method works on Fire TV devices, the Prime Video app on phones and tablets, and the web version of Prime Video.

The process differs slightly depending on whether you are signing in on a device or through a web browser, but in both cases you will use your Amazon email and password rather than creating a Peacock login. This is the fastest route if you already have Prime Video installed and active.

Key Takeaways

  • You can watch Peacock through Prime Video by adding it as a channel, which costs extra per month but uses your existing Amazon login.
  • On Fire TV, go to the Prime Video app, search for Peacock, and select "Add Channel" to subscribe and start watching when ready.
  • On phones and tablets, open Prime Video, tap the menu, find Channels, search for Peacock, and tap "Subscribe" to add it.
  • On a web browser, visit primevideo.com, search for Peacock, and click "Subscribe to This Channel" to link it to your Amazon account.
  • Once Peacock is added as a channel, you sign in using only your Amazon email and password — you do not need a separate Peacock account.

Add Peacock as a Channel on Fire TV

Open the Prime Video app on your Fire TV device. Use the search function (usually the magnifying glass icon at the top) and type "Peacock" into the search bar. Select the official Peacock channel from the results.

On the Peacock channel page, you will see an "Add Channel" button. Select it. You will be asked to confirm the monthly subscription cost and to sign in with your Amazon account. Enter your Amazon email and password. Once confirmed, Peacock will be added to your Prime Video account and you can start watching when ready.

The channel will appear in your Prime Video library and in your Channels list. You can remove it at any time from your account settings if you no longer want the subscription.

Add Peacock as a Channel on Mobile Devices

Open the Prime Video app on your phone or tablet. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner on Android, or the menu icon at the top on iPhone. Select "Channels" or "Your Channels" from the menu.

Tap the search or plus icon to browse available channels. Type "Peacock" into the search field. When the Peacock channel appears, tap "Subscribe" or "Add Channel." Confirm your Amazon account information and the monthly charge. The channel will be added to your account within seconds.

Once added, you can open Peacock directly from the Prime Video app without signing in again. Your Amazon login carries over automatically.

Add Peacock as a Channel on a Web Browser

Go to primevideo.com and sign in with your Amazon account if you are not already logged in. Use the search bar at the top of the page and search for "Peacock." Click on the official Peacock channel result.

On the Peacock channel page, click the "Subscribe to This Channel" button. Review the monthly cost and confirm your purchase. Your Amazon account will be charged automatically each month, and Peacock will be added to your Prime Video account when ready.

You can now watch Peacock content through Prime Video on any device where you are signed into your Amazon account. To cancel the channel subscription, go to your Prime Video account settings, find "Manage Your Channels," and select "Cancel Channel" next to Peacock.

What Happens After You Add Peacock

Once Peacock is added as a Prime Video channel, you will see Peacock content mixed into your Prime Video recommendations and search results. You can also open Peacock as a separate tile or section within Prime Video, depending on your device.

You do not need to create a Peacock account or remember a separate password. Every time you open Peacock through Prime Video, you are already signed in using your Amazon credentials. If you sign out of Prime Video, you will need to sign back in with your Amazon email and password to access Peacock again.

The monthly subscription fee for Peacock through Prime Video is separate from your Prime membership cost. You will see both charges on your Amazon billing statement each month.

Troubleshooting Sign-In Problems

If you see an error message when trying to add Peacock as a channel, make sure your Amazon account is in good standing and your payment method is current. If your card has expired or been declined, update it in your Amazon account settings before trying again.

If you are already signed into Prime Video but the channel will not load, try signing out completely and signing back in. On Fire TV, go to Settings, select Your Account, and choose Sign Out. On mobile, open the app menu and tap Sign Out. Then sign back in with your Amazon credentials.

If Peacock content will not play after you have added the channel, check that your internet connection is stable and that your device has enough storage space. Restart the Prime Video app or device and try again. If the problem continues, contact Amazon Prime Video support through your account settings.
