Tutorials

Three written walkthroughs for activating a streaming app on a television, covering the device-code sign-in flow used by YouTube, Prime Video and HBO Max. Each page explains what the code on your TV screen is, which URL to open on your phone or computer, and what to do when the code expires before you have finished typing it — the most common reason the process fails. These are guides rather than tools: there is nothing to run and no account details are entered here. We link only to the official activation pages operated by each service, and the steps describe what those pages ask for at the time of writing. If a service changes its flow, the fastest check is the code screen on the television itself, which always shows the current activation URL.
