Stop watching in a browser and use the app.
Amazon on Monday announced that Prime subscribers now have a native Mac app to watch TV shows, movies, and other Prime Video content. Previously, viewers had to access the service using a web browser to watch content on the Mac. The Amazon Prime Video app is available now for free in the Mac App Store.
The Prime Video Mac app has a couple of advantages over a browser. The key feature is Picture-in-Picture mode that will present a persistent, resizable video window on top of the Mac interface, regardless of what app you are using. The app also has AirPlay support so you can play content on any AirPlay-compatible device.
Other key features include show downloads for offline watching, the ability to stop watching on one device and pick up from that point on another device, in-app transactions, and access to Amazon’s exclusive content and live sports.
The new Mac app is like the Prime Video app that is already available for iOS. Though the Mac Prime Video is Mac native, it is likely based on the iOS version using Apple’s Catalyst project, which was introduced with Catalina.
