This error could be caused by server problems, browser incompatibility, geo-locked content, corrupt cache or cookie files, and more.
- Check the status of the Amazon server
- Check the ping status
- Log out and sign in again
- Disable any proxy servers and VPN
- Update your web browser
In such a situation, try restarting the browser and then the computer, and if it still doesn’t help, proceed with the following troubleshooting steps sequentially:
1] Check the status of the Amazon server
If the Amazon server is down, PrimeVideo won’t work, no matter what you try. In this case, you would have to try opening Prime Video on a different system and check whether or not the service is working. If yes, proceed to other solutions.
2] Check the ping status
In this solution, the problem could be in one of two places. First, the internet itself may not be working. You can check this by trying to open a website other than Prime Video. If the internet works fine otherwise, try the following procedure:
Press Win+R to open the Run window and type the command cmd. Hit Enter to open the Command Prompt window.
Type the command – ping primevideo.com and hit Enter.
Wait for the replies,; if you receive four replies, everything is good. Else, proceed with other solutions.
3] Log out and sign in again
Log out of your Amazon account, sign in again, and see if you can play the video.
4] Disable any proxy servers and VPN
A lot of content on Amazon Prime Video is location-specific. People try accessing the content in regions other than permitted using VPNs and Proxies. Amazon Prime Video doesn’t allow it. So, to access content on the service, you will need to disable VPNs and proxies on your system. To disable a VPN, contact your VPN provider. To disable proxies on your system, the procedure is as follows:
Click the Start button and go to Settings > Network and Internet > Proxy.
Under Manual proxy setup, disable the option associated with Use a proxy server.
Restart your system and try accessing Amazon Prime Video.
5] Update your web browser
Websites check a browser’s security certificates before you can access them. If a web browser is obsolete, the Amazon Prime Video website would show the error in the discussion. Thus, updating your web browsers from time to time is advisable.

Is Amazon having problems today?
Like any other online service, Amazon offers an AWS health dashboard that helps you understand if the service has an outage in any country or region. You get a country-wise table that explains everything. It also lets you view your account health. If there are any outages, you will find them listed under the Open and recent issues section.
Why is my Amazon Prime Video glitching?
If the app opens normally but has trouble loading or playing video, it’s likely due to slow internet speed. If you are connected to WiFi, switch to mobile data and check if it works. If it does, you may have an issue with your ISP or internet connection.
