Amazon has launched its new video streaming service called miniTV. The service offers “professionally” created and curated content to the users. It has a variety of content like comedy shows, tech news, food, beauty, fashion and many more. It is entirely free of cost but the users will have to watch ads. It is available within the Amazon shopping app.
Amazon said in a blogspot,”With the launch of miniTV, Amazon.in shopping app is now a single destination for customers to shop from millions of products, make payments and watch free entertainment videos”. Currently the new service can only be accessed by the Android users. The iOS and the mobile web versions will also be released in the upcoming months.
The e-commerce website has partnered with the leading studios like TVF, Pocket Aces and the comedians like Ashish Chanchlani, Amit Bhadana, Prajakta Kohli, Elvish Yadav, Round2Hell, Harsh Beniwal, Akash Gupta and many more. The customers will also see contents on Tech, fashion and beauty.
The service also features a food section, which has videos from Kabita’s Kitchen, Cook with Nisha and Gobble. Amazon has promised many more exclusive new videos in the upcoming weeks. It is important to note that Amazon Prime and miniTv are entirely different platforms.
The company said,”miniTV is completely free and it does not require a separate app. Prime Video requires a Prime subscription and offers a collection of award-winning Amazon Originals, latest movies and TV shows, in English as well as 9 Indian languages. Viewers can access Prime Video on the app or stream it o their smart TVs.
How to access the service?
To access miniTV, the customer needs to open the Amazon app on their Android phone. Till now, there is no separate access option for the same. Once the user opens the Amazon app, he/she just needs to scroll down a bit to access the miniTV. Once it is spotted, the user needs to click on the miniTV and the user will be redirected to a new section which contains free web series and other contents.
