Today, for the first time in a long while, I found myself wanting to watch a movie. However, I couldn't locate the one I had in mind, and Amazon Prime Video didn't have it either. Have you ever felt that way before?

If you come across a video that catches your eye without being registered, it's easy to forget the title. Even if you try to search for it later, it might take some time to rediscover it.

To make the most of your viewing experience, consider using the Amazon Prime Video watchlist feature. By adding the films you want to see ahead of time, you can streamline your viewing process.

What is Amazon Prime Video Watchlist?

This tool allows you to add content you discover on Amazon Prime Video to your "Watch List," enabling you to access it instantly whenever you're ready to view, without the hassle of searching for it.

It functions similarly to "Favorites" and "Watch Later," but with added features like the ability to organize your Watch List using filters.

This feature provides an easy way to share the works you’ve added to your Watch List on your computer, smartphone, app, or browser.

We will guide you on how to utilize the Watch List on both computers and smartphones.

How to Use Amazon Watchlist to Manage Your Video

Let’s explore the steps to register, view, and remove content on your computer using the Amazon Prime Video app.

If you haven’t installed the app yet, you can do so using the links below. For Windows users, head to the Microsoft Store, and for Mac users, visit the Mac App Store.

1. Manage Amazon Prime Video Watchlist on PC

When you click on "My Items" in the left-hand menu, you will access the "Watchlist" and "Rent/Purchase" sections. If there are no items registered in your watchlist, you will be greeted with a message stating, "Watchlist is empty."

Currently, the "Watchlist" is highlighted in white text. However, by selecting "Rent/Purchase," you can view the works that you have either rented or purchased.

To register a work, simply hover your mouse over it and click the "+" icon. Alternatively, you can add it to your watch list by clicking on the work first.

If you wish to remove a movie or series from your Amazon Video watchlist, you can certainly do so.

2. Manage Amazon Video Watchlist on Mobile Phones

Let’s explore the process of registering, displaying, and removing content on a smartphone. This guide will help you navigate the steps involved in using the Amazon Prime Video app.

Click on the desired work to add it to your watchlist. Alternatively, you can long-press the piece you wish to register to include it in your "watchlist."

When you tap the profile icon, your viewing list will be displayed, allowing you to review the works you have registered.

Mater Functions of Amazon Video Watchlist

When you add a title to your watchlist, it remains there until you choose to remove it, even if you've already seen it; it won’t disappear from your list.

If you pause a viewing session and decide to continue later, you have the option to resume from where you left off or to replay films you’ve watched previously as many times as you’d like.

Let’s explore the practical features of the watchlist.

1. Build Your Video List

You can select titles from "All TV Shows and Movies," and when you open Prime, it will display only those that can be watched without restrictions. 

If you wish to rearrange the order of the titles, simply remove them and then add them back right away.

As the number of items in your watchlist grows, searching through it will become necessary. This method allows you to prioritize the titles you want to view next by placing them at the top.

2. Search for the Next Video in the Watchlist

Given that each on-demand platform offers a vast array of videos, locating your desired content may take a bit of time. However, there are several effective ways to discover videos you might enjoy.

You can click on any title in your watchlist and scroll down to explore related titles. This will reveal other works featuring the same cast or similar content, making it easier for you to find your next movie to watch.

Conclusion

In this instance, I'll be explaining how to utilize the "Watchlist" feature on both computers and smartphones. I believe you'll find it to be more than just a simple "favorites" list; it offers a variety of useful functionalities.

The Watchlist can be easily shared across computers, smartphones, apps, and browsers, allowing you to register your selections on any device that's convenient for searching, and then watch them on your preferred viewing platform.
