Amazon Prime Video Group Buy

Amazon Prime Video Review

Amazon Prime Video Group Buy works with a wide variety of devices. It also lets you download shows and movies for offline viewing. Most Apple TVs, Samsung TVs, and Blu-Ray players support this feature.
You’ll need an Amazon Prime subscription to watch most of the content on Prime Video. This includes original TV shows like Fleabag and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, as well as popular movies.
What You Get
Prime Video is one of the most popular on-demand streaming services on the market, and it’s included with your Amazon Prime subscription. The service offers a robust library of movies and TV shows at a competitive price. Subscribers also get access to Amazon Originals such as Fleabag, The Manor, Reacher, and Hanna. Prime Video is also home to many older fan-favourite titles like Heathers, Silence of the Lambs and Scrubs, and original content from Freevee (formerly IMDb TV).
The Prime Video app works on various devices and platforms, including mobile phones, tablets, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. It has a sleek, responsive design that makes it easy to navigate and find what you’re looking for. Users can also customize their experience by choosing different video quality settings to control data usage based on their internet connection and viewing preferences. You can select from Data Saver, Good, Better, and Best quality options.
If you’re not already an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Prime Video. You can then choose to add the streaming service to your existing Amazon account, or you can create a new one. Once you’re a member, you can watch Prime Video on all your favourite devices and platforms.
Amazon Prime Video is available as a stand-alone subscription for $9/month or as part of a full Prime membership that includes a variety of other benefits, such as free shipping and access to exclusive discounts. Prime Video is a good value and an excellent option for anyone who wants to stream various movies and TV shows in high-quality HD.

The App

Prime Video is one of the most affordable ad-free streaming services out there. It costs less monthly than the ad-free plans from Netflix, Hulu and Disney Plus. Plus, it comes with all the perks of Amazon Prime, which includes free shipping and next-day or evening delivery.
Prime Video has an impressive library of TV shows and movies that are more extensive than most other on-demand services. You’ll find fan-favourites like Heathers, Silence of the Lambs and Scrubs, and Amazon original series like The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, The Wheel of Time and more.
You’ll also find many acclaimed movies, including classics like Star Wars and Aliens and new releases. If you have kids, the service boasts a good lineup of children’s shows like Sesame Street, SpongeBob SquarePants and Thomas and Friends. The service is notably ad-free, though you may see the occasional promo before a show or movie.
Prime Video features a nice layout on the mobile app with TV and movie categories and “Watch Next” recommendations. A Top 10 carousel highlights the most popular titles on the platform. You can tap a title to watch or click the Store icon to purchase or rent a movie or TV show. The mobile interface also makes it easy to switch between devices and adjust your streaming quality, which is automatically based on your connection speed.
You can also select subtitles on the mobile app, which you can toggle on and off in the Settings menu. You can also choose the colour of your subtitles and change the text size. The only drawback is that you can’t download content on laptops or PCs, a feature more common to rival services.

Recommendations

If you’re a Prime subscriber, you can access a huge library of TV shows and movies, including many of its original productions. You can also get your hands on popular shows from Netflix and Hulu – though they are not included in the Prime Video subscription.
Amazon’s commitment to producing and buying high-quality content has resulted in a great selection of TV and films. The catalogue includes a good range of recent and older movies and TV series, with a decent amount available in 4K HDR. The app features TV and movie categories and “Watch Next” recommendations, similar to other streaming apps. The mobile app for iOS and Android offers the same user experience as on a computer, with easy navigation of categories and recommendations.
You can download select movies and TV shows for offline viewing, but only if they support it. You need a device that supports the feature, such as an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. It’s easy to see which titles have this option, and adding them to your queue is simple. It’s also easy to delete shows once you have finished with them, which saves space on your device.
Various TV shows from other networks and production houses, including HBO, the BBC and Channel 4, bolster the catalogue. You can catch up on current seasons of hit shows such as Downton Abbey or House and earlier episodes. However, it’s not quite as comprehensive as Netflix or Hulu. This may mean you’ll need to subscribe to one of those services to catch up on the latest TV shows.

Auto Play

Amazon Prime Video is an impressive service that does a solid job of competing with Netflix and Hulu for subscribers’ attention. Its interface is easy to navigate and works well on phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs and Blu-ray players. Prime Video also offers some unique features like X-Ray, which shows exciting tidbits about the film you’re watching, and Watch Party, which lets multiple people join in on the same episode of a show or movie to watch and chat together.
It’s easy to customize the look and feel of Prime Video, especially on mobile devices. You can change fonts, text size and colour and adjust the screen size to suit your preferences. Prime Video also has built-in subtitle support. You can edit your subtitle settings to adjust colours, fonts and edges. You can even set up a custom keyboard shortcut to quickly jump between subtitle options.
One thing that might frustrate some users is the auto-play feature, which begins playing content automatically when you open the app. This can be annoying when trying to watch a movie or TV show. It can also use up your phone’s data plan, increasing monthly bills.
Fortunately, there’s an easy way to disable this feature from the account and setting menu on desktop and laptop computers. The settings cog will appear on mobile devices when you open a movie or TV show. From here, you can select whether or not to enable auto-play.
It’s also important to note that Prime Video isn’t just a streaming service but also sells movies and TV shows for rent or purchase. These titles are mixed in with the free content on the service, and you can see the price next to the description if it’s not included as part of your subscription.

DVR

While Prime Video doesn’t have a dedicated DVR like Netflix, you can record shows and movies through third-party software called OBS. This free-to-use screen recording software is very popular and works well. It has no lag and can record HD videos with no problem. This is an ideal way to record Prime Video without buying a subscription to another streaming service.
While most of the content on Prime Video is included in your subscription, you can pay extra to watch movies and TV shows that aren’t included in your membership. These titles appear on the ‘Movies We Think You’ll Like’ menu and can be found under the Explore tab.
One of the best things about Prime Video is its extensive selection of original programming. You can watch TV series such as the Emmy-winning The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Goliath, starring Billy Bob Thornton as a washed-up lawyer; Hunters tells the story of Nazi hunters in America; and Upload, a sci-fi thriller where people can upload their consciousness into the digital afterlife.
Prime Video is available on most major streaming devices and mobile phones. It also comes with the Amazon Fire TV stick and some smart TVs. The app experience is very similar across these platforms. You can also use a browser on your PC or laptop to log into the website and access the app. The only difference is the interface, which is slightly modified for smaller screens.
