There are so many streaming services these days, it’s hard to keep track. Gone are the days when everything was onNetflix; there are nowscores of options, such as Disney+, Apple TV +, Paramount+, MGM+, and even some services that don’t have a plus in the title, such as Max and Hulu. EvenChick-Fil-Ais getting in on the action. When people tell you about a great show they’ve just watched, there’s nothing worse than finding out that it’s on a service that you don’t have.
The trouble is, there are now so many great Prime Video channels and apps to choose from, you may find yourself getting a little trigger-happy and signing up for too many, especially when many Prime Video channels offer a free trial. The good news is that it’s simple enough to cancel Amazon Prime Video channels and app subscriptions once you know how. Here’s how it works.
How to create Amazon Prime Video profiles for your family
Amazon’s Prime Video service offers individual user profiles for each family member. It’s a pretty simple feature to set up, too. Here’s how.
Prime Video channels vs streaming service apps
You’ll need to know which is which before you cancel
That’s because the way that you cancel Prime Video channels is different from how you cancel streaming service apps that you signed up for with your Amazon billing details. If you signed up for a streaming service in another way, then you’ll need to cancel that service directly through that service’s app or website.
What are Amazon Prime Video Channels?
One of the best benefits is free access to the Amazon Prime Video streaming service, which includes a huge catalog of TV shows, movies and Amazon Prime exclusives, such asThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Wheel of Time,The Boys, Reacher, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
There’s plenty to watch for free on Prime Video, but there may be some shows or movies you want to watch that are part of a different streaming service. The good news is that if you’re a Prime member who uses a Fire TV or smart TV with the Prime Video app, you can also search for a show likeStar Trek DiscoveryorYellowstoneand see the option to watch it throughParamount+directly within your Prime Video app.
Now here’s where the problems begin: Prime Video channel subscriptions do not transfer over to a provider’s own app or other platforms likeApple TVandRoku. You can only access them through Prime Video on Fire TV or the Prime Video app on a laptop or mobile, or devices such as an Apple TV or Roku.
That means, if Paramount+ is a Prime Video channel of yours, you’re able to’t install the Paramount+ app on another device and sign in to it. You’ll only be able to access Paramount+ through Prime Video.
