Once a movie is purchased and is downloaded, can I watch it without internet?

Yes. Once you downloaded the video file to your device, you can watch the movie without an internet connection.

Question

What do I do if Prime video suddenly won't play and says the Chrome version is not up to date, but is?

Community Answer

Make sure to check for available software updates for both your computer and your internet browser. If available, run the updates and restart your device. Alternatively, try using Amazon Prime with a different web browser and see if the error repeats itself.

Question

Why is the volume so low and doesn't get higher when I adjust it?

Community Answer

That may be a problem with your computer. Also, check that you didn't mute the tab (right click on the tab) and check that the video/movie itself is at the right volume. You could also try a different speaker/earbud/headphone.
