- Home

- Live TV
- Downloads

Next, we will detail how to navigate through each section. Stay with us!
Home
In the Amazon Prime Video home section, you can explore part of the platform's catalog. Here, the service will show you the main recommendations, and, over time, they will become increasingly personalized based on the last programs you watched, in addition to a section dedicated to the films/series/reality shows that you are still following.
Scrolling down, the user is presented with several smaller sections, each with recommendations for a Prime service/genre, such as the main content from Lionsgate+, HBO Max, or the main superhero and villain films from Amazon Prime Video.
Also in this section, there is a menu with 4 categories, at the top of the screen. These are the divisions:

Downloads
See in this section all the episodes/movies you downloaded to follow offline mode. You can download content by clicking on the icon shaped like an arrow pointing downwards, which appears next to the description of the episode/film selected to watch.
Search
Here, you can find the titles you want to watch much faster. Simply enter the desired title or the name of an actor in the search bar. If you want to search by voice, just click on the microphone-shaped icon on the right side of the search bar.
You can also browse by genres, arranged just below the search bar, by collections (to access them, click on the right arrow next to each one) and by categories, such as best films and best series ( the icon to access them is the same as the collections).
If your smartphone is connected to another device, such as a SmartTV, you can stream a title from your smartphone to that device by clicking on the TV-like icon at the top of the application, which appears in all sections. After that, just choose the title you want and press play!
Next to this icon is a small ball with your application profile photo. By clicking on it, you access the list of titles that you added to it to watch at some other time and, by clicking on “purchases”, you access all the rented titles.
Still on this screen, by clicking on your profile icon again, you can switch the device's Amazon account, if more than one profile needs to access the same device.
Back to the previous screen, by clicking on the gear icon, you configure the application according to your preferences, such as the amount of device data used by the application, download quality, among others.
