Method 6: Cast Prime Video from iPhone to Laptop

For mac users, it’s pretty easy to cast prime video from an iPhone using the AirPlay feature, as both devices are compatible.

But when you want to screencast prime video content to a Windows laptop from your iPhone, you will need help from a third-party app.
