Amazon Introduces 'Clips' Short-Form Video Feed on Prime Video
Amazon has rolled out a new short-form video feed called 'Clips' on its Prime Video app, allowing users to browse through personalized snippets of shows tailored to their interests.
Amazon first tested this short-form feed during the NBA season, showing highlights that users can scroll through as though they're watching TikToks.
It's not a surprise to see Prime Video make this change – Netflix, Peacock, Tubi, Disney, and others have recently rolled out similar experiences, which are designed to promote discovery. Netflix's short-form feed even shares the Clips name.
Clips is first rolling out to select U.S. customers on iOS, Android, and Fire tablets, but it will be available more broadly this summer. Users can navigate to Clips by scrolling down on the Clips carousel on the Prime Video mobile home page, which will surface a full-screen vertical feed.
