All you have to do is press where it says '+ Add to watch list' If you want to remove a content from the list, follow the same procedure. You have the monitoring list in the lower icon of three lines.

One of the best options we find on the platform is to be able to download the content we want to see and then not spend a single piece of informationof our rate.To do this we will go to the desired content and click on the 'Download' section.

Next, we'll look at the storage we have available and the ability to download in a given quality. The better the download quality, the larger the downloaded file size will be. Click on 'Start download' and that's it.

Download from a favorites list

In Amazon Prime Video we have a section exclusively dedicated to the watch list and favorites that we have created in the first trick of the list. From this list we can download the content. In this way, we are going to save precious time, since we will have in one place what we really want to see.

In the three lines icon we have our list. Each movie or episode has a small three-dot menu. Clicking on it will open a dialog window with various options. Press 'Download' and you're done.

Turn off autoplay

Surely it has happened to you, at the end of an episode, to think, "I'm not going to see any more." But what happens? that the next episode plays automatically and you think, "Okay, just one more." And the next day, early. What to do to disable autoplay?

To do this, we enter the 'My stuff' section and, then, deactivate the 'Auto Play' switchIn this way, you will have to play the next episode yourself. You will have the last word on what you reproduce, so no excuses will be worth it anymore.

Who are those who appear on the scene?

Has it ever happened to you that you are watching a series and, when you saw one of the characters, you thought "where have I seen that face «? Well, in Amazon Video, if you click just at the moment that actor or actress appears on the scene, on one side appears the file of all those who appear at that moment. If you click on the corresponding file, a screen with information will open, in order to clear up any doubts.

Cast content to my Chromecast

If you have a Chromecast connected to your television you can send series and movies wirelessly It's very easy to do, you just have to press the Chromecast icon before starting any playback.You will find the icon at the bottom right of the screen.

Set language and sub titles

Amazon Prime Video gives you the opportunity to see the content in the original version with sub titles. To do this, while the content is playing, we pause it. We look at the upper icon in the form of a speech bubble and press it. Here we are going to configure the language of audio and sub titles that we want. To save the changes, click on 'Close'.

Sub title Setup

On the previous screen we have the option 'Sub title configuration'. In this section we will be able to change the size and format of the font, if we want it bigger or smaller, yellow or white... All the changes You can see them at the moment in the lower section where 'This is a sub title sample' appears.

Set up parental control

At Amazon Prime Video we can find ideal content for the little ones. But also another one they shouldn't see. How do we control what our kids can see on their tablet with Amazon Prime? Very easy. If we click on the 'My stuff' section, which you have at the bottom, and then on the cogwheel, we have the 'Parental control' section.

Within 'Parental control' we will have to define, first, a secure pin that only we should know and, then, apply the corresponding constraints.

Manage playback quality and downloads

Here you can change the quality you want to stream and download the content to your device.You have several options that you can vary. Streaming quality will depend on your connection speed and storage download. In the first I recommend that you leave 'optimum'. If it cuts out, you'll need to set a lower quality.
