Content navigation
Navigating through video content
Along with this, Prime Video has also added shortcuts for navigating through video content.
The left and right arrow keys can be used to rewind or fast-forward the video by 10 seconds, respectively.
This way, you can easily skip ahead or go back in your viewing without having to use a mouse/touchpad.
Audio control
Adjusting volume and muting audio
For audio control, Prime Video users can use the up and down arrow keys to increase or decrease the volume.
The 'M' key is used to mute/unmute the audio.
These shortcuts offer a handy way for viewers to adjust their viewing experience according to their personal preferences or surrounding noise levels.
Subtitle management
Managing subtitles and audio tracks
Prime Video also provides keyboard shortcuts for controlling subtitles and audio tracks.
You can use the 'C' key to turn subtitles or captions on/off and switch between available subtitle languages.
Meanwhile, the 'A' key lets you cycle through available audio tracks, including audio descriptions and Dialogue Boost.
These features make for an enhanced viewing experience, for those who prefer watching content with subtitles or in different languages.
