Can Prime Video be added to Chromecast?

GriffDGrand — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 15:21:26 GMT

Is it possible to watch Prime Video from Chromecast?

I've looked in the video section, and some options from Prime Video are in there, and even asks me to sign in for them, yet Paramount being one of them I no longer have as a service on Prime.

I look under accounts and it shows what I have, and when I click on add an account it isn't in there. I downloaded Prime Video from the google play store, but still doesn't show up in there?

Am I missing something?

Hi GriffDGrand,

Below is information that I found from the Amazon website....

To use Google Chromecast with Prime Video, you need the most recent version of the Prime Video app for either iOS or Android.

From the Prime Video app, select the Cast icon.
Select the Chromecast device that you wish to use.
Your iOS or Android device must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast. Please ensure that your Chromecast device is up to date. Also ensure that your Prime Video app and iOS or Android device are also up to date. If you’re running an Android device, ensure that Google Play Services are also up to date. The Prime Video app on Fire Tablet can’t connect to a Chromecast.
Select a title you wish to watch. This title will then be shown on the display that the Chromecast is connected to.
If you wish to change Subtitle settings on Chromecast, on iOS devices, you must stop Casting to that device. Then select Settings > Accessibility > Subtitles and Captioning > Style and select a style for your Subtitles. On Android devices, while a title is being Casted, tap the three-dot menu on the screen. Select Subtitle styles and toggle on Show captions. You can also select Caption size and style options from that menu.

Note: If you have the Chromecast with Google TV device (first released in 2020), you can use the device’s remote and use the Prime Video app on that device, in addition to the Casting option.

Regards,

Cathal

Thank you again Cathal_S,

I've casted from app's to my TV before without any problem, but didn't even think to try that this time. Reason being chromecast is plugged in to a device called VisionBuddy's transmitter and then to my TV and with every thing I was seeing thought I needed to have the App loaded into chromecast.

It now works great and Mom can watch TV even with Cataracts and AMD and see the TV, and now in TV mode far greater than just with magnifier mode.

We are both extremely grateful for you help!

Kindest Regards,

Kelly and Dorothy
