What is Amazon Prime USA, and how can I watch it?

Amazon Prime is one of the most significant streaming services in the world. It’s available in over 200 territories and countries. However, not all regions offer the same viewing. Depending on where you are in the world, you could be missing out on programs that you feel you should be able to watch. You’re paying a Prime subscription after all, so it really doesn’t seem fair.

The USA still appears to have the best selection of content and the most titles available throughout their library. This is all down to some rather complicated licencing restrictions.

Prime bundles a range of additional features: music, video and reading, plus next day delivery (or two-day when unachievable). There are even more additional extras that make the fee well worth the money.

Amazon is renowned for providing masses of original content, superb movies and all the cult TV shows you could wish for. Catch, Lady Bird, The Tick and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel; all firm favourites of the platform.

Amazon has been selling video and providing content since online shopping burst onto our screens. It goes without saying that as they have grown exponentially in every area, they’ve ventured into; Amazon Prime is no exception. From TV dramas, comedies, documentaries and more, they have something for everyone—even those with the widest and most niche of tastes.

How to watch Amazon Prime US from outside the USA

Amazon uses geolocation technology to pinpoint its users and direct them to the system in their country. It redirects users for shopping, reading, music, TV or movies. You can happily shop in many other countries, but when it comes to accessing TV shows and movies, there are legal restrictions to prevent you from watching their titles.

However, a VPN or Smart DNS system can get around the problem by switching your location. If you’d like to view the media available on Amazon Prime US, you’ll need a workaround that does just that.

You will need some kind of location blocking software to access USA Prime content. VPN or DNS are the most popular options, each with their advantages and disadvantages.

Because StreamLocator uses a combination of technologies, it’s the best option by far for accessing geo-blocked media. It reads the server requirements and provides precisely what it needs.

Once you’ve plugged in the smart router and activated your account, you can access all the geo-restricted content you like, and nearly always without even knowing it.

There are certain cases where the automatic switch may need a little help but don’t worry, that’s simple too. For Amazon Prime users accessing US content, if you can’t stream the US content straight away, go to the Streamlocator router panel using any browser, head to the streaming tab, and select United States from the Prime Video dropdown. With that taken care of, you should be able to access your required content without any further ado.

Does StreamLocator allow me to watch Amazon Prime for free?

We’re afraid not. Prime is a paid-for service and no matter where you are in the world, and how you’re accessing their service, you still need to pay for a valid subscription.
