Upgrade to watch without ads
If you upgrade your Prime subscription to ad-free, then you can watch on your VidAngel Roku app or through AirPlay, And of course, then you can watch without ads on Amazon and VidAngel.
To view your plan on the Amazon website:
Go here to access your Prime Plan: Amazon Prime Account & Settings
Or to manually navigate, go to:
- Select your main Profile menu near the top-right.
- Select "Membership & Subscriptions" from the long drop-down menu.
- Select "Prime Membership Setting".
- Click the "Go ad free" button.
Additionally, if you go to your Memberships & Subscriptions page and it doesn't say "Ad free" then you have the default Prime subscription, which includes ads.
