Learn below all the Amazon Prime Video changes from 2025 & more.
Amazon Prime Video Password-Sharing to End Soon Starting Jan 2025
Amazon Prime Video which has over 200M paying users is all set to make a big change in its terms and conditions starting January 2025. Similar to Netflix, Prime Video’s password-sharing crackdown is here.
Until now, Prime Video users have been able to share their membership across up to 10 devices, making it a more affordable option for families and groups. However, starting January 2025, users in India will face new restrictions, allowing sharing on a maximum of 5 devices, with only 2 of those being TV devices.
One workaround could be using your PC/Laptop to stream Prime Video and connect it to the TV using an HDMI cable . In this setup it's possible that Amazon Prime may consider the streaming device as a normal device instead of a TV device. 💡
Unlike Netflix’s restrictive password-sharing with only the household members, Prime Video subscribers can share their account with anyone as long as the 5 devices limit is not crossed.

Want an Ad-free Experience on Prime Video? Pay more
Another big change to Prime Video from the year 2025 is going to be a new ad-free tier for subscribers in India and the existing Prime Video subscribers will not be able to enjoy ad-free experience anymore.
Prime Video has said that its current subscribers will also have to start seeing ads during both TV shows and movies from 2025. However, Prime Video will be having fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers.
So this was all about sharing some key changes in Amazon Prime Video from January 2025 next year. Do share with us in the comments below, what do you think of these new changes?
