You can watch rented movies from your computer or any other device that supports Prime Video, including phones, tablets, and TVs. The way it works is very similar to other streaming services like YouTube and Netflix. After browsing for something to rent and then paying for it, all the watching happens either in your browser or through an app. You can rent movies from Prime Video on your computer or through the Prime Video app. These screenshots are for the desktop version, but all the menu buttons are the same in the app. Only select titles are available for download, and only on compatible devices such as the Prime Video mobile app. Here’s how to download the newly rented movie from the Android app: For TV shows with multiple episodes, you can download the entire season by selecting Download Season, or you can download specific episodes by tapping the episode and then the down arrow icon. There are two important restrictions to note before renting from Prime Video: you have 30 days to start watching the movie and then a limited number of hours or days from then before it expires. Some movies give you seven days, but others place a 48-hour limit; you’ll see this before you make the purchase. This means you can rent a movie today and wait a few weeks to start watching it, but the moment you press play is when the expiration timer starts. You can rent a movie more than once if it expires and you want to watch it again, but there’s also an option to buy movies on Prime Video so they’re yours to watch for as long as you like.
