Amazon Prime Video is bringing live music to your bedroom as part of the latest fight in the streaming wars

In the midst of intense streaming wars, Amazon Prime Video is bringing live music to people's bedrooms.

What's the key learning?

  • Amazon Prime Video has added a new live stream called "Amazon Music Live" which includes Rapper 2 Chainz interviewing each artist and big stars performing live on the streaming platform.

  • The live streaming segment of the streaming market is expected to have the highest market share by 2027 so it makes sense why platforms are bringing in these live shows.
