1. Disable autoplay
The autoplay feature in Amazon Prime Video allows users to watch series without interruption, automatically skipping the credits to start the next episode.
To disable this function, simply access the application’s “Settings” and disable the “Auto Play” option. This allows the credits to be displayed in full and gives the user the control to manually start the next video.

2. Watch series episodes randomly
The random choice button on Amazon Prime Video makes it easy to review favorite series without having to select a specific episode.
However, such an option is only available on Android devices and for some selected series.
To access it, choose the desired title and find the “Episodes in random order” option next to the others, clicking on it to activate.

3. Find out more about the cast
Prime Video’s X-Ray feature is a notable differentiator. Activated when pausing a video, it displays essential details about films and series, imported from IMDb.
It features actors, songs and offers access to more comprehensive information, including trivia, full cast and other actors’ productions available on devices during playback.
