There are two types of Amazon Prime charges: monthly and annual. It is a nice point that not only smartphones and PCs, but also devices that you normally use are compatible. In addition, there is no particular limit to the number of registered devices. It would be very convenient if you could register all the things you have and enjoy them on each device depending on the situation. In addition to automatically registering your device, you can also add your device from the Amazon Prime Video settings. The procedure in that case is explained. Please operate as follows. Log in to Amazon Prime Video and tap "Menu" in the upper right corner. Tap "Settings" at the bottom of the displayed items. Tap "Devices" at the top right of the "Accounts & Settings" screen. Tap the "Register new device" button in the center of the opened screen.

After completing the device registration, we will show you how to watch on multiple devices at the same time. After downloading the Prime Video app on your device, you can watch it on multiple devices by logging in with the same account as your Prime member. Up to 3 people can watch at the same time by logging in with the same account. If anyone is logged in with a different account, please log out and then log back in with the same account.

[Amazon Prime Video] Precautions when watching simultaneously on multiple terminals

I understand that you can watch on multiple devices at the same time, but there are some caveats, so let's check. As explained earlier in "Up to 3 devices can watch at the same time", you can watch up to 3 devices at the same time by logging in with the same account. Therefore, if you try with the 4th unit, an error will occur and you will not be able to play the video. In that case, make sure that no one else is watching. Up to 3 devices can be viewed at the same time, provided that they are different works. Please note that if you want to watch the same work at the same time, you can have up to two. Another point to note when watching on multiple terminals is the viewing history. Since you log in with the same account, you will naturally see the same information from any device. Recommended videos based on your viewing history will also be displayed on the home screen, so be careful when sharing the same account with family members other than yourself. I will explain how to delete the viewing history after this, so please check if you do not want to keep the history. First, you can delete the viewing history only from the PC version of the site. In the Prime Video app, you can select the item "Remove from list" by long-pressing the video you watched, but the viewing history itself is not deleted. When operating from a smartphone, please open the PC version site, not the Prime Video app or smartphone version site. You can open the Amazon PC version site from the "Amazon PC site" displayed at the bottom of the smartphone version site. After logging in to the PC version of the Amazon site, click "My Store" in the items lined up at the top of the screen. Click "Accuracy of recommended products" displayed at the top of the My Store screen. Make recommendations more accurate Click "Watched videos" in the "Change product information" item at the top left of the screen. A list of works will be displayed on the video screen that you have already watched, so check "Do not use this as a recommended product" at the far right of each work item to complete. It is necessary to pay attention not only to the viewing history but also to the search history. If you have a search history that you do not want to be known, delete it from the "Clear Video Search History" setting screen of the Prime Video app.

[Amazon Prime Video] How to watch on multiple devices at the same time << 3 or more people >>

So far, I've explained that you can only watch up to 3 devices at the same time. So do we have to give up watching with more than 3 people? With Prime Video, there are other ways to watch videos besides logging in and watching. That way, three or more people can watch the video at the same time. The method of normally logging in and watching is called streaming playback. There are other ways to download and play videos. This is not included in the number of viewers, so it is possible for three or more people to watch at the same time. In addition, if you are watching downloads, one of the nice merits is that you can enjoy it anywhere without worrying about the amount of data communication. Follow the steps below to download. Open the Prime Video app and select the video you want to download. Tap the download icon in the video selection screen to start downloading. Also, if the episodes are divided into small parts such as animation, you can download each one individually. If you scroll down the video selection screen, it will be displayed by episode, so tap the download icon displayed on the far right to start downloading. After the download is complete, you can view the list by tapping the "Download" icon displayed at the bottom of the Prime Video app. Select the video you want to watch from here and play it. You can watch 3 or more people at the same time for download viewing, but there is a limit to the number of downloads. First, up to two devices can download the same video. In addition, the maximum number of downloads that can be made with one account is 25 for multiple devices combined. If you want to download more, delete the videos you have already watched and adjust the number. Follow the steps below to delete the downloaded video. Select the video you want to delete on the "Download" page of the Prime Video app, and tap ":" on the far right. Tap "Delete Download" in the displayed items to complete. You can't watch a video once you download it, and it has a fixed period. You can save it for 30 days, and if you start watching it once during that time, you will not be able to watch it 48 hours after you start watching it. Please be aware that if the viewing period has expired, you will need to connect to the Internet again.

[Amazon Prime Video] Benefits of simultaneous viewing on multiple devices

So far, we've introduced how to watch Prime Video at the same time, but let's see what the benefits are. First and foremost, the advantage is that the whole family can watch it. Kids can watch anime while parents watch movies and dramas on Amazon Prime Video, so the whole family can enjoy their favorite videos at any time. Amazon Prime has a service called "Family Member", and if you register, up to two family members living together can use the benefits of Amazon Prime for the usage fee for one person. Unfortunately, Prime Video benefits are not available to family members. Even in such a case, it is a nice advantage that Amazon Prime Video can be used by the whole family just by logging in with the main account. The whole family logs in with the same account, so of course you only have to pay for one account. Even better, from July 2020, we've added the ability to add up to 6 viewer profiles. Until now, if you logged in with the same account, you would only have one watchlist, but with this feature you can now split up to six. The setting method is as follows. Open the Prime Video app and tap "My Items" at the bottom right. Tap the user name displayed in the upper left. The Add New Profile screen will appear, so enter the name you want to add. Also, if you check "Is this your child's profile?", You can set to display only videos for children. After entering, tap the save button to complete the registration. Tap "My Items" to see the profile you added. From here you can switch between watchlists by simply tapping on each name.

A service that allows you to watch multiple devices other than Amazon Prime Video

In addition to Amazon Prime Video, there are several services that allow you to watch on multiple devices. What is the difference between them? U-NEXT is a video distribution service that you can enjoy for 1,990 yen (excluding tax) per month.

As with Prime Video, you can watch and rent videos as much as you want. The great attraction of U-NEXT is that you can enjoy not only videos with a wide variety of genres but also e-books such as manga and magazines. Unlike Prime Video, you get 1,200 points every month. The monthly fee is high, but you can purchase rental videos that require an additional fee for this 1,200 points. You can log in to multiple devices with one account, but you cannot watch them at the same time. However, if you use a "family account" that allows you to add up to three free of charge to one account, you can watch only different works at the same time with each account.

Netflix is ​​a video distribution service that allows you to choose from three types of monthly billing plans. Depending on each plan, there are differences in the number of people who can watch at the same time and the image quality.
  • Basic plan
  • 800 yen per month (excluding tax) Only one person can watch at the same time.
  • standard plan
  • Monthly fee 1,200 yen (excluding tax) The number of people who can watch at the same time is two, and it supports HD image quality.
  • Premium plan
  • Monthly fee 1,800 yen (excluding tax) The number of people who can watch at the same time is 4, and it supports HD image quality and super high image quality 4K. Netflix has no rentals and you can watch all videos on any plan. It is attractive to be able to choose a plan according to your purpose, such as the number of people you want to watch at the same time and the image quality.

    Hulu is a video distribution service that you can enjoy for 1,026 yen (tax included) per month. In particular, many domestic dramas (NTV series) are distributed, and you can watch all videos for a monthly fee. There is no limit to the number of devices, and you can watch from multiple devices with one account. However, since simultaneous viewing is not possible, only one device can be used when actually viewing. In that case, as with Amazon Prime Video, you can watch it at the same time by dividing it into streaming playback and download playback.

    Get the most out of Amazon Prime Video in a variety of ways

    As introduced this time, with Amazon Prime Video, if you have one account, you can enjoy videos on multiple devices at the same time. If your family is registered but you thought you couldn't watch Prime Video, please take advantage of the various viewing methods. You can enjoy a lot of videos at a great price, so the world will expand at once.
