To sign out of Amazon Prime on Roku, open the Prime Video channel, go to Settings, scroll to the very bottom, and select "Sign Out." This is the quickest way to sign out of Amazon Prime on Roku directly from the app.
How to sign out of Amazon Prime on Roku (in-app method)
The primary way to sign out is through the Prime Video app's settings menu. On your Roku remote, press the Home button to return to the home screen. Navigate to the Amazon Prime Video channel and open it. Within the Settings menu, scroll all the way down until you see the "Sign Out" option; it may be at the very bottom and require additional scrolling. Select it, then confirm that you want to sign out. If you need to do this on a different device, you can also sign out of prime video on smart TV models from brands like Samsung or LG. The app will log you out and return you to the Prime Video sign-in screen.
Alternative method: Deregister your Roku on the Amazon website
If you cannot sign out from the app itself, you can deregister the Roku device from your Amazon account using a web browser. This method is useful when the app's sign-out option is missing or not working. To do this, sign in to your Amazon account on the Amazon website. Go to "Accounts & Lists" (or "Your Account") and select "Devices." Locate the specific Roku device you wish to sign out of and click "Deregister" next to it. Once deregistered, the device will be signed out of Amazon Prime Video automatically. If you plan to sell or give away the device, you should also sign out of Roku TV to protect your personal data. This is also a reliable fallback for signing out of streaming apps on a smart TV.
What to do if you're selling your Roku
If you are selling your Roku device, it is recommended to sign out of all accounts, including Prime Video, before the sale. However, the most secure way to ensure no personal data remains is to perform a factory reset. A factory reset wipes all accounts, channels, and settings, returning the device to its out-of-box state. Simply signing out of individual apps does not remove stored login data, so a reset is the safest option when transferring ownership.
Removing the Amazon Prime channel from Roku
Removing the Amazon Prime channel from your Roku home screen is a separate action from signing out. To remove the channel, press the Home button on your remote, highlight the Amazon Prime Video channel, and press the asterisk (*) button on your remote. From the menu that appears, select "Remove channel" and confirm. This deletes the channel from your device, but it does not sign you out of your Amazon account. If you later re-add the channel, you will still be signed in unless you sign out first or deregister the device.
Factory resetting your Roku device
Factory resetting your Roku device is the most drastic option and should only be used when you want to wipe all data, not just sign out of one app. Choose "Factory reset" and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. This will erase all channels, network connections, and account information, including your Prime Video login. After the reset, the device will restart and require full setup again. For detailed steps on this process, refer to your Roku device's official support documentation.
