Amazon Prime Video is an on-demand video streaming service. It rivals Netflix and Hulu as one of the most popular streaming platforms, and with good reason. Amazon Prime Video has a lot to offer.
We’ll take a look at the best features Amazon Prime Video has to offer and explain why you should subscribe.
Lots of original content
It is essential for streaming platforms to offer the best original content in order to stand out from the crowd. Regarding quality and quantity, Amazon Prime Video ranks first on the datasheet. That’s because it’s filled with great original shows and blockbusters.
Whether you love retro crime drama or modern comedy, Prime Video has something for you. The only thing to note is that the content on offer constantly changes as contracts expire and licenses are not renewed.
Amazon Prime Video is an exclusive streaming service.
While not as popular as a sports broadcast service, it may have sports events you want to watch. In addition, the service sometimes hosts live and exclusive concerts by famous names, especially on the annual Amazon Prime Day.
So if you see what you want to see, don’t wait.
Watch in 4K and HDR
If your TV supports 4K or HDR, you can watch most Amazon Prime Video content in high definition (including almost all original TV shows). Unlike other streaming services that charge extra for this, they are all included in the same Prime Video plan.
You will need an internet connection with a download speed of at least 15 Mbps, so make sure your bandwidth is adequate.
Download something to watch offline
Is your internet connection often intermittent or bad? Traveling somewhere where you would be without Wi-Fi? If so, you’ll be happy to know that Amazon Prime Video supports offline downloading.
As long as the media is on Prime Video, it will stay on your device. You can watch it as much as you want and you don’t need an internet connection. Perfect for a long trip or a long trip.
Support for multiple devices
Amazon Prime Video supports a wide variety of devices. This includes Amazon products such as Fire TV, Echo, Blu-ray players, dedicated game consoles, mobile phones, set-top boxes, smart TVs, and more.
Rent and purchase additional content
While it would be nice if everything you want to watch were available with an Amazon Prime Video subscription, this is not possible for licensing reasons. However, Amazon offers additional content that you can rent or buy.
Wide support for ease of use
Accessibility features such as subtitles, audio description, and dubbing are often overlooked on streaming services.
Luckily, Amazon Prime Video supports them all. Enabling subtitles and audio descriptions are incredibly easy in Prime Video, which means you can enjoy all the content on all your devices, without your needs.
Good parental control options
If you have kids, Amazon Prime Video has plenty of kids’ content to keep them entertained. But you definitely don’t want them accessing adult content. That’s why it’s great that Prime Video has good parental controls to keep your little ones safe.
You can create a profile for your child and choose the type of content they can view based on their maturity rating. You can also set a time limit for how long the device can be used.
In addition, to prevent them from simply switching to your profile, you can set a PIN.
