- You can see your Amazon Prime Video purchases in the "My Stuff" section of the Prime Video website or app after you've bought or rented a video.
- Select "Purchases & Rentals" within My Stuff to see your videos.

Once you rent or buy a movie or TV show on Amazon Prime Video, it should be immediately available for you to watch.
Purchased shows and movies are yours forever, though you only have 30 days to start watching rented content; After that, the rental expires and the video disappears from your queue.
But no matter what kind of device you are using, the process for finding and watching these purchases is basically the same.
