Anyone got Amazon Prime video to work on Windows Phone?

[Ryujingt3]

So I just signed up for Amazon Prime Video because they support Thailand. However, on my 950XL, no Prime Videos seem to play using the Edge browser.

I understand that there will most likely never be an app for Windows Phone. I just wanted to know if there is any way I can watch Prime Videos on my Windows Phone?

Many thanks.

One of the reasons I went to Android was because I have Prime and couldn't watch videos my phone.

There's no way at all, sorry to say.

Funnily enough, the Amazon rep said they are working on a Windows 10 Phone Amazon Prime app. I will believe that when I see it.

This is a shame. At least I can use the subscription on my PC.

It IS, however, working on continuum in the browser. Which shows, that there is no technical reason for it not to work.

That is interesting to know Corwin. On a Windows phone, you can browse to the Primevideo site but the play button does nothing.

If I could get that to work, along with a Snapchat app and Walmart pay, Is go back to my Windows phone in a heartbeat. Unfortunately I don't see it happening

Sadly, I have to agree, I am the only person I know with a Windows phone, I don't need all the latest apps but, sometimes, I do feel left out. Sad also is that Windows phone devices are impossible to get here (Thailand) and have little to no resale value, regardless. Unlike Android and iPhone which is dominant.

Call them. I went on a Chat and complained about it.
Works on my 7inch tablet, but not my 5 inch phone....

Agree. Netflix can have an app so should Amazon Prime.

Try going in to the Edge browser settings and changing from Mobile mode into Desktop mode. Since it is reported to work in Continuum mode, which essentially uses the Desktop mode rendering option, this should work on the small screen too. I've just tried it but the WiFi I'm on (work) isn't going to allow streaming films. It makes a spirited attempt though, so I think it will work on a normal connection. FYI, Netflix is far better for content and the app. I'll be ending Amazon after the free month.

Did you contact them yet?

After changing the settings to desktop app from mobile, the video starts to load, but just freezes.

You can watch Amazon Prime Video on your Lumia by installing "Monument Browser" from windows store. Once you open the page you want to watch video, go to settings of browser and change mode to"Desktop". Then quit the browser and re-open it. It will for ask continue navigation. Click "yes" and there you can see play button on prime video.

That's what I have tryed with success. Is not the best solution, but it Works.
