Video streaming has simplified how we all watch content. From the latest movies to the best of shows, the choices are endless and everything is available to us at the click of a button. However, with an ever-increasing number of OTT platforms, users are also facing issues with multiple subscriptions, usernames, passwords and transactions. To address this concern, Amazon has launched Prime Video Channels in India. Already a big success globally, Prime Video Channels offers different streaming services on a single destination – Amazon Prime Video website and app, and promises to make the video streaming experience simpler and more convenient for all viewers.
Here are 5 reasons that make Prime Video Channels an attractive feature:
#1 All your favourite content available through one service
In India, Prime Video Channels is launching with 8 different OTT services, including discovery+, Lionsgate Play, Docubay, Eros Now, MUBI, hoichoi, Manorama Max, and Shorts TV. Users no longer need to download different apps or visit different websites, and can enjoy their favourite content through Channels on the Prime Video website and app itself!
#2 Say goodbye to different usernames and passwords
Prime Video Channels makes users’ login experience simpler by allowing them to access any of the above 8 services with a single username and password. They can subscribe to any streaming service they like from within Prime Video and also keep track of all their subscription details like renewal date, price, card used etc., from a single page. Now that is called true convenience!
#3 A huge and diverse library
Prime Video Channels offers more variety and diversity in terms of content to consumers. Users gain access to close to 10,000 new content titles across shows, movies, genres and languages, with this launch. They can enjoy blockbuster and quality cinema from Lionsgate, MUBI and Eros Now, across languages and genre, while discovery+ adds an array of Wildlife, Adventure, Science, Food, Lifestyle content. The new channels and their popular titles like The Father, Byomkesh, Star vs Food, Haathi Mere Saathi will now be available alongside customer favorite Amazon Originals like Shershaah, Mirzapur, Paatal Lok, The Family Man and The Tomorrow War, so there’s no need to toggle from app to app.
