Prime Video Personal Packages (or just Prime Video) is Amazon’s online media streaming service. You can stream thousands of movies and TV shows in 4K HD instantly. Digital titles are available for purchase or rental.
A decade ago, Prime Video was only in the US. Now, it’s in almost every country. With Amazon Studios and other studios, the online retailer has released original TV shows and movies.
Amazon Channels are used in certain regions to expand service. Instead of a long-term contract, you can choose channels like Showtime and Shudder.
Prime Video stores your favorite episodes and movies on a remote server you can access from your computer, smartphone, smart TV, or other connected device. A stable internet connection should buffer and play content smoothly. Save media on your phone or tablet to view later.
The Prime Video service can be accessed via the Amazon Prime app in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, or via the Prime Video website.
Streaming will begin immediately or after a brief (skippable) trailer for another Amazon Prime Video series or movie. The platform’s AI suggests videos as you watch. Always-fresh content is added to the platform so you never run out of things to see.
Prime Video’s basic criteria can be met by most Americans, despite poor internet connections. While UHD (4K) streaming requires a fast internet connection, SD and HD streaming do not.
.5 Mbps minimum speed.
1.5 Mbps recommended.
3.0 Mbps for SD streaming.
5.0 Mbps for HD streaming.
25 Mbps for 4K UHD streaming.
These requirements are the same as Netflix, and Amazon lists average data use on the main interface. You can change quality without restarting the stream. Estimated Amazon data usage:
.38 GB per hour
Better quality — 1.4 GB/h
Best quality: 6.84 GB/h
