Hi All, I had reached out to an Amazon Prime person who is focusing on Accessibility with this thread. He has shared the below:
"Thank you for forwarding the feedback. Amazon Prime Video does have Audio Descriptions for a all English Amazon Originals. Would you be able to pass this on to the customers and see if they are able to see AD. Customers should be able to turn on Audio Descriptions by playing a title and changing the audio language to English [Audio Descriptions] and it should be available on all devices like mobile apps, or Prime Video website. If they are unable to play AD, I would be happy to take a look." Hope this helps.
