Amazon Prime Video in terms of streaming platforms offers one of the best experiences. But, however, there are times when we find inconveniences or problems when watching the movie or series, and if this happens to you, below we will tell you some of the reasons why it may happen:
The speed of your internet is not enough, for this platform you need at least 4 MB of speed at least, if the internet is low you will not be able to watch the content. That is why we recommend that you first check the internet speed you have at that moment.
Another reason may be that you have an outdated application, so go to the application store on your TV and if you see an option to update it, do so.
When using a VPN, it is common to access content that is not available in the country you are in, however, most of the time, companies block access, which is why this may be another reason.
As a last option, it may also be that your account has been suspended, either due to a violation of the terms of service or simply because you have not paid. In any of these cases, it is best to check the status of your account on the Amazon platform.
