What is TVOD (as in Prime Video TVOD)

TVOD stands for Transactional Video-On-Demand, which is a digital content distribution model used in the streaming industry. In TVOD, viewers can rent or purchase individual pieces of content, such as movies or TV show episodes, on a per-title basis. This is in contrast to subscription-based models like SVOD (Subscription Video-On-Demand) where users pay a recurring fee to access a library of content.

Prime Video TVOD refers to the Transactional Video-On-Demand offerings within Amazon Prime Video, a popular streaming platform offered by Amazon. Prime Video offers a range of content options, including both a subscription service that grants access to a library of movies, TV shows, and original content (SVOD), and TVOD where users can rent or buy specific movies or TV show episodes without a subscription. This allows viewers to choose exactly what they want to watch without committing to a monthly subscription fee.

In summary, Prime Video TVOD is a part of Amazon Prime Video that allows users to rent or purchase individual titles on a pay-per-view basis, giving them the flexibility to enjoy specific content without a subscription commitment.
