Overview

Amazon Prime Video is an exclusive entertainment service available for computers running the Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems. Anyone who has heard of Amazon is familiar with its Prime Video service. It lets you watch streams of your favorite television shows and films right from your computer. You can even access Amazon Original series, including titles like Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Hunters, and The Boys. The content can be downloaded and watched offline too.

The Windows application version is far superior to the Prime Video. The latter feels no different than shopping on the Amazon store website. You’ll see tabs for other categories (e.g., Home & Garden) as you browse for movies and television show content. That can become annoying.
When you use the Windows application, the user experience is phenomenally better. You will only see content related to the Prime Video service and nothing else. Just browse through the selection and find the content you’d like to watch or download. If you choose to download a television show or movie onto your computer, you’ll only be able to watch it offline for up to 48 hours. Once that time has expired, you’ll have to go online to redownload the content.

The Amazon Prime Video Windows App doesn’t have everything, though. It fails to deliver Dolby 5.1 surround sound or 4K and HDR video quality. Its main competitor in the video streaming market, Netflix, has already managed to offer these features. The app also doesn’t have Compact Overlay (aka. picture-in-picture mode). That means you cannot place the video window over other windows and watch the content.

FAQ

Is The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power available on Amazon Prime?

Yes, is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. You can watch for free with a 30-day trial.

However, these are minor setbacks. The (Windows 11/Windows 10 App) version of Amazon Prime Video provides enough benefits to satisfy customers. It is still a new app from one of the most significant development companies in the world. We can expect the app to see some excellent upgrades as time goes on.

Note: Requires registration for the trial version.
