Prime Video Overview
Prime Video (PV) is a premium entertainment service that offers customers the greatest choices in what to watch, and how to watch it. PV delivers movies and TV shows instantly to TVs, tablets, game consoles and PCs worldwide. We are building the future of TV for customers in over 200 countries to enjoy an endless selection of movies, shows and sports on their TV, mobile devices and desktop. We deliver high‑quality video to Amazon customers through subscriptions (Amazon Prime, and Channels) as well as purchases, rentals, and free with ads. Amazon believes so deeply in the mission of Video that we’ve launched our own studio to create original and exclusive content. We use advanced machine learning and data mining techniques to help our customers discover the best movies and TV shows across Petabytes of data and Exabytes of streaming. We obsess over big picture problems like how to deliver video that’s more reliable than the internet it’s delivered over, to the low‑level details of squeezing maximum picture quality out of every bit delivered. In short, we’re inventing the new paradigm for finding and enjoying video content in an industry that’s doubling every year.
