Since Prime Video is primarily an Amazon app that streams commercial TV channels, there are quite a few here. In terms of content, this service is similar to Apple TV+ but inferior to Netflix. The bulk of the TV channels is of American production. Accordingly, TV shows and shows are also from there. Movies and TV series are still few and popular, but they are not what you would call new. It is rumored that Amazon Prime Video is going to expand its film library. How long this will take is hard to say. In addition to showcasing third-party projects, the service presents content from Amazon Studios’ own production.
Almost all popular streaming services offer a captioning feature. Amazon Prime is no exception. To that end, here’s how to enable subtitles on Amazon Prime in a few simple steps.
