    What is Amazon Prime Video Channels?

    Available in more than 200 countries around the world, Amazon Prime Video Channels allows the user to buy or rent movies, series, anime and other TV shows if they don't have a streaming subscription. With the subscription, the operation is very similar to services like Netflix, for example, and you can access it at any time to watch your favorite program available in the catalog.



    Amazon's streaming service offers exclusive and completely original content, but it also has works produced by other production companies, having only the right to broadcast these productions, not being involved in the development of films and series. 

    Canais do Amazon Prime Video Channels

    One of the features available on this streaming service is “Channels”, also known as Amazon Prime Video Channels. This feature allows users to choose the channels they want to access, without the need for cable. The availability of content included in the service is managed by the subscription providers. Depending on the channel, you will also have the ability to watch live.

By paying an extra fee, you can access these streaming partners and each one's catalog through the Prime Video service. That way, you won't have the need to create accounts and download streaming apps separately. Among the available streaming and partner of Amazon Prime Video Channels, we have the following:
