Prime Video, also marketed as Amazon Prime Video, is an American Internet video – non-demand service developed, owned and operated by Amazon. It offers television shows and movies for rent or purchase and prime video, a selection of original content from Amazon Studios, and licensed acquisitions included in Amazon’s Prime subscription.
