Is there a way to download Amazon Prime streaming video? When I try to download the app I get a message that this device is not compatible.

You have to download the amazon app store. You can download the amazon instant app from their store

No...I even Googled it to see if someone had found a way. Even though I tried various suggestions they never worked. My ONLY complaint with this tablet. �

It works fine. Just download the app. Stop listening to all these people who don't know what they are doing

I am not seeing the ability to stream Amazon instant video. Anyone know how to do this. My old Blu Ray player kept adding channels to installation.

Two years later & Amazon Prime only tries to load via browser. Having problems getting Amazon Prime streaming video to NOT stutter badly. It doesn't work on my HTPC or my Logitech Revue. Works on a wireless laptop reliably though. :/

No. The issue some people are having is that you need a form of Adobe FlashPlayer for videos to function; it is not pre-installed on this device as Google announced in 2012 that it was discontinuing Flash for mobile devices. There are a couple of easy options available to get around this in order to watch Prime videos; the first method is to load a browser from PlayStore that has Flash bundled in such as FlashFox (free app). FlashFox works, but it can lag at times and the ads at the bottom of the browser window drive me nuts. The better way is the second option; Amazon announced in September that it would support Prime for Android mobile devices. This can be extended to tablets using the appropriate steps. Just follow the instructions shown below to install the required apps: 1) Install the Amazon Appstore on your device. ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html?docId=1001206081) 2) Open the Amazon Appstore (orange icon), search for the Amazon app (the icon has the Amazon logo over a blue shopping basket), and install it. 3) Open the newly installed Amazon App (shopping basket icon), & sign into your account. 4) Once signed in, navigate to any Prime instant video and select "watch now". You will then be prompted to install Amazon Player; do so. 5) Once player installs, you're done. You can now watch any Prime video via your Amazon App. Please note, there is an Amazon app for tablets on Google PlayStore, but it WILL NOT support Prime video on tablets. You must use the above instructions in order to achieve Prime video functionality on this tablet. Hope this helps

The best answer tp your question is to go to Amazon prime and see if it can be directed to your LG. I think it can with the right app but I have never tried to do it myself. I just stream on my Laptop. good luck.

Unfortunately, no. Amazon Prime Video is not available on any Android or forked Android device. Only Fire and tOO.

Yes, it has the amazon Prime app for streaming videos. There is a button on the remote for that.

If you mean Amazon Prime then I will say I don't use it but yes you can install the amazon prime app and watch their content as you would all the other media streaming devices.

Would love for this to happen. Browsing through the "Ask & Answer" section on LG site (http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM6700-led-tv), it looks like the app for Amazon VOD was excluded based on decision made by Amazon, not LG. That's really disappointing. I don't want to have to buy Roku to enjoy HD streaming for service I'm already paying... sigh...

Not currently, Amazon has limited Prime Instant Video to their own devices (Fire TV, Kindle, etc), though some have tried hacking the app onto other devices with limited success. However, Amazon has announced the release of an app for Android not tied to their product line "soon."

Hey amazon prime team, you are losing another customer here if you are not fixing your android ics video problems. We pay and like to watch prime on any mobile device, not just the kindle. Tying prime to your hardware only is foolish. Reconsider this approach, please.

You would have to side load it like you do on a rooted phone. Do a Google search for Amazon instant video apk for android then download it. Go to the downloads folder and install. I'm sure it will work Samsung did a great job on leaving it like an open source platform. I can't say for sure cause I don't use amazon prime but I'm willing to bet it can be done I went thru 3 apks for hulu before I found one I liked but all did work. Hope I helped

Natively, Amazon Prime Instant Videos require Adobe Flash Player installed on the tablet, which is not available on Android tablets like this Acer. Kindle Fire and iPads are supported. There are several free apps which state that they can stream Amazon Instant Videos; however I have not found one that works. I just unsuccessfully tried the free "Can I Stream It" app. If you are adventuresome the following link will supposedly step you through how to install and run Flash on an Android tablet - http://www.teleread.com/amazon/how-to-stream-amazon-instant-videos-on-a-nexus-7-or-other-android-tablet/. If running Amazon Instant Video on a tablet is important to you, I suggest that you get an Apple iPad instead.

Amazon prime is a type of membership with Amazon. Not a program you can download. Having said that it does have "Amazon instant movies". If you log in using the same "Amazon prime" account data then you CAN watch your Amazon Prime videos". If you need further information pls refer to the manual, Sony, or Amazon. I will say I can watch Amazon Prime videos....hope that helps.

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.

Actually I never used it to watch for amazon prime, I have Netflix and works beautifully.i bet it will work for amazon as well.
