Amazon Prime will now allow users to share a snippet of up to 30 seconds from some of its Prime Video content. To begin with, this feature will be available only for a few shows. Also, the video sharing feature will only be available on iOS devices. As of now, it is unclear whether the company plans to introduce the feature for Android devices in the future.
When watching a series on a streaming service, the Share Clip tool will appear along with the rest of your controls. Tapping on the same will create a 30-second video clip, which users will be able to fine-tune to make sure it includes the part of the show they want to share.
From there, users will be able to share it using Apple’s built-in sharing feature. Users will be able to send the video to others via iMessage or post it on social media.
While Amazon’s new feature suggests that the company is open to users sharing video clips from Prime Video, streaming services like Netflix have a different approach.
When taking a screenshot while watching content on Netflix, video content blacks out, leaving you with only subtitles if you have them turned on.
Amazon has said that for now, users will only be able to share clips from shows including season one of The Wilds, Invincible, Fairfax and The Boys. It will add more movies and shows later. As of now, it’s unclear whether the company intends to introduce the feature for any non-Amazon original content on Prime Video in the future.
