Amazon Prime Video is looking to take lead from Netflix and Co. in bringing password sharing rules to India from 2025. The company announced changes to the new rules from 2025. As part of the new rules, Prime members will be able to sign in to a maximum of 5 devices including up to two TVs.
“As part of your Prime membership, you and your household are entitled to enjoy Prime Video on up to five devices. Starting January 2025, we are updating our usage terms in India to include up to two TVs as part of your five devices entitlement. You can manage your devices on your Settings page or buy another Prime membership to watch Prime Video on more devices.” an email sent to Amazon Prime subscribers read.
Amazon prime members can currently log in up to 10 devices without any other specific sub-limits. While Prime Video still provides the option to log in up to 5 devices at once, the limit on not signing in on more than 2 TVs could be an issue for some users.
This will be the second setback to follow for Amazon Prime Video users in 2025 after the streaming giant already confirmed that its current subscribers will start seeing ads during their TV shows and movies from 2025. Amazon had said that Prime Video will have fewer ads than “linear TV and other streaming TV providers” and a new ad-free Prime tier will also be launched in India soon.
