In India, Prime Video Channels has launched with eight popular streaming services that offer around 10,000 titles across genres and languages
Increase in the number of video streaming services has created some challenges for viewers, like navigating through different apps, remembering usernames and passwords and multiple billing relationships, which takes away from a seamless viewing experience. This is where Prime Video Channels comes into the picture.
Prime Video Channels offers a wide range of content from various streaming services on one single destination – Amazon Prime Video. Users can log in to Prime Video using their Amazon Prime Membership account, buy add-on subscriptions to their preferred services and manage all their subscriptions within Prime Video itself, without having to toggle from app to app. Non-Prime members will first need to join Amazon Prime, then log in to Prime Video and follow the same steps to subscribe to channels.
In India, Prime Video Channels has launched with eight popular streaming services — discovery+, Lionsgate Play, ErosNow, Docubay, MUBI, hoichoi, ManoramaMAX, and ShortsTV, that offer around 10,000 titles across genres and languages.

With the launch of Prime Video Channels, we now take the next big step in our journey to place the power of convenience and choice in the consumers’ hands.”
