Prior to publication, your title will undergo a series of manual and automated reviews before a licensing decision is made. You can check the status anytime in your Dashboard. Please ensure your title is eligible for consideration prior to submission by reviewing the Content Policy Guidelines and Asset Requirements.

Content categories that aren't accepted via Prime Video Direct may include (but are not limited to) slide shows, vlogs, podcasts, tutorials, filmed conferences, monologues, toy play, music videos, and voiceover gameplay.

Currently, Prime Video Direct allows video providers to publish to select marketplaces, including Amazon.com (U.S.), Amazon.co.uk (UK), Amazon.de (Germany & Austria), and Amazon.co.jp (Japan). You can see which marketplaces are enabled for publishing on the Availability tab.

Note: Publishing titles to locations outside of the United States, UK, Germany, or Japan is by invitation only. We will notify you if additional territories become available for your account.
