Re: Prime video unable to install

Welcome and thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, @LindaFer!

Thanks for reaching out. We'd be more than willing to help you install and access the Prime Video app on your Roku streaming stick/Express. 

Firstly, can you please confirm if you've activated and are currently using your Roku device in the UK? If not, please be aware that the Roku streaming platform is US-based, and only limited countries are being offered to use Roku. 

This could be the reason why you can't add certain apps to your channel lineup.

We'll be anticipating your confirmation. 

Best regards,
Carly

Re: Prime video unable to install

@LindaFer 

In addition to what our Community Expert provided, kindly ensure you're currently using your Roku device in those said regions to have full access to channels/apps available on the Roku streaming platform.

Roku can detect your location to where you are currently streaming even if you've activated your Roku device and are using a UK email address through an IP address. This may be the reason why you can't add specific apps to your channel lineup.

We hope you find this information helpful.

Best regards,
Carly
