The Amazon Prime Video streaming service has been on the U.S. media market for a long time but has entered the global arena relatively recently. Today, this streaming service is a significant competitor to such giants as Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, and others. Paramount Plus is also on this list.

However, you can watch the Paramount Plus streaming service not only through a special app. Content from this platform can also be integrated into other services. This is exactly how it works in the case of Amazon Prime Video. If you’re subscribed to Paramount Plus within the Amazon Prime Video streaming service but want to unsubscribe from this channel for whatever reason, here’s how you can do it.

What is a Paramount Plus?

Paramount Plus is brave because it’s the latest to venture into the world of streaming services. On the one hand, services like Apple TV are investing billions of dollars to make room for themselves with original content, and on the other hand, entertainment brands like Disney and HBO are moving from cable to online streaming as if it were a necessary next step in their evolutionary process.

Paramount Plus is similar to the latter in terms of the type of streaming service. The brand is evolving to stay relevant to its audience and is taking steps to acquire new viewers and develop new and unique content. Paramount Plus app is available on a huge number of different devices, for example, you can set up watching this streaming service on your Vizio Smart TV.

Paramount Plus is one of the many different third-party channels offered on Prime Video, including Hallmark Movies Now, Showtime, MLB TV, NBA League Pass, Discovery Plus, and others. The various third-party channels are optional extras for Prime subscribers for an additional fee over and above the annual Amazon Prime subscription.

What’s available on Amazon Prime Video?

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 TV channels is American-made. Accordingly, TV programs and shows are also from there. Movies and TV series are still few and popular, but they cannot be called novelties. It’s 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’ production.

Videos from Amazon Original’s “The Man in the High Castle”, “Mozart in the Jungle”, “The Boys” and “Red Oaks” can be viewed on the media portal. You can also watch all of this content with subtitles enabled. Jeremy Clarkson’s popular Grand Tour is available. Third-party and in-house content can be rented or purchased. You can watch the new Top Gear at Amazon’s movie theater. There’s a free movie selection, but it’s only available after registering.

Is it possible to get a refund for Paramount Plus?

You are offered a tempting option – when you cancel your subscription, you get a self refund for the remaining time of your current subscription period. You can choose this option to terminate your subscription immediately and receive a refund.

On the other hand, you can also choose to terminate your subscription at the end of the current billing period. This means that the channel will remain available until the end of the conditional month and no money will be refunded to your account. You will also be able to cancel the unsubscribe process during this period if you change your mind.

Subscribing to third-party channels on Amazon is a great way to manage subscriptions to various streaming platforms, given the vast number of apps and services available online. However, not everything is to everyone’s taste, so users may need to opt-out of some services from time to time. Which you can easily do. As you may have already seen, it’s as easy as unsubscribing to Netflix on your iOS device.
