What to Know
Using Prime Video on an iPhone or iPad

Watch Prime Video on Apple TV From an iOS Device
When you want to play your movies on the Apple TV instead of your iOS device, use the AirPlay feature on your iPhone or iPad to direct the videos to the Apple TV.
Stream Prime Video From a Mac to Your Mac
Ensure your iOS device is on the same Wi-Fi network as the Apple TV.
Launch the Prime Video app and log in to your account on your mobile device.
Choose the movie you want to watch and press Play on the app.
Tap once on the playing video, and you will see the AirPlay icon in the upper right corner.
Swipe upward from the bottom of your iPad screen in earlier versions of iOS (or down from the top right corner in iOS 11 and later) to display the Control Center, where you can also find the AirPlay control.
Tap the AirPlay button, which resembles an upward-pointing triangle with a rectangle that looks like a television.
If you don’t see the AirPlay button, enable it first and then try again. The steps for turning on AirPlay are similar on the iPhone and on the iPad.
Choose the Apple TV you want to stream the movie to (if you have more than one) and tap its name in the dialog box.
When the movie begins, tap the AirPlay button at the top right corner of the Mac Menu bar (to the left of the volume icon) and select the Apple TV you want to stream the content to.
Your Mac desktop appears on your TV screen. Tap the full-screen button in the video so that the full image displays on the Apple TV.
