What to Do If Prime Video Is Down

If you are having trouble accessing Prime Video, try these troubleshooting steps before concluding that the service is experiencing an outage.

1

Check your internet connection

Before assuming Prime Video is down, verify that your internet connection is working. Try loading a different website like google.com. If other sites also fail to load, the problem is with your connection, not Prime Video.

2

Clear your browser cache and cookies

Corrupted cache data can prevent Prime Video from loading properly. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. In most browsers you can do this from Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.

3

Try a different browser or device

If Prime Video does not load in your current browser, try a different one (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). You can also try accessing Prime Video from your phone or a different computer to rule out device-specific issues.

4

Flush your DNS cache

Stale DNS records can prevent your device from connecting to Prime Video. On Windows, open Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /flushdns". On Mac, open Terminal and run "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache". On Linux, run "sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches".

5

Try using a VPN

If Prime Video is blocked in your region or your ISP is having routing issues, connecting through a VPN may resolve the problem. This is especially helpful if Prime Video works for others but not for you.

6

Check your streaming device

If Prime Video is not working on a smart TV or streaming device, try restarting the device, updating the Prime Video app, or reinstalling it. Streaming issues can sometimes be caused by outdated app versions or insufficient device storage.
