Amazon Prime Video will also reduce its quality due to coronavirus

In recent days, millions of people were forced to stay home to prevent the spread of coronavirus. This decision has all kinds of consequences, both academically, at work or in personal and family life.

This drastic change has resulted in the use of the Internet, and the fact that by spending more time at home you may have more time for entertainment, which is high-quality food and over-saturated networks. The solution? The European Commission is clear on this.

Amazon Prime Video will also reduce the quality of its service in Europe

Video, for now, is the kind of content that can significantly expand Internet networks, especially formats that are as prevalent today as 4K (4K video takes up 1080p space, for example).

These days, at the request of the European Union, both Netflix and YouTube have agreed to limit the quality of their services. In the case of Netflix, the company opted to use more aggressive pressure to reduce the bandwidth used by 25%. YouTube, on the other hand, has chosen to tag all videos with the default SD solution.

As an Amazon Prime Video spokesperson points out: «Prime Video works with local managers and Internet providers where help is needed to reduce any network pressure, including Europe where we have begun efforts to reduce our broadband bandwidth while maintaining a quality experience for our clients.

At the moment, Amazon Prime Video has not specified how much quality it will take in its operation, but they made it clear that its main purpose is to provide the best possible connection between quality and bandwidth. And they did not specify how long the rate would last.
