'What is the X-Ray feature on Amazon Prime Video?': How to find and view bonus material about TV shows and movies

* X-Ray is an exclusive feature on Amazon Prime Video that displays bonus material about a show or movie, similar to the bonus features on a DVD. * X-Ray can show you information about the actors in a scene, the musical soundtrack, trivia, and more. * To activate X-Ray, you generally only need to click or tap within a video that's currently playing.   * Visit Business Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories. Amazon Prime Video's X-Ray feature is, at least for now, not available on any other video streaming service. X-Ray works like the bonus features you find on a DVD or Blu-ray. With just a few clicks or taps, you can get additional information about many of the TV shows and movies on Prime Video. When you activate X-Ray, Prime displays an overlay on top of your show, offering additional information.  Check out the products mentioned in this article: Amazon Prime Video ($8.99 a month at Amazon) Roku (from $49.99 at Roku) There are several kinds of information X-Ray can show * Cast and characters. This is the most common X-Ray feature. In any given scene, it will display the names of the actors and the characters they are playing. Because it only displays information about people who are in that scene, it makes it easy to learn about actors and recall the names of the characters they are playing.  * Music. X-Ray displays information about the music in the scene. * Trivia. For some shows, X-Ray inserts trivia at specific points in the show. * Bonus content. Some shows have scene commentary from the director, cast or crew, much like commentary tracks on DVD.  How to use X-Ray on Prime Video No matter what device you are using to watch Prime Video, X-Ray is always just a click or tap away: * Web browser. Use your mouse to click in the video. You should see the on-screen controls. In the upper left, click "X-Ray." It'll disappear after a few moments, so to see X-Ray information again, just move the mouse.  * Mobile device. Tap the screen. The X-Ray information will appear automatically, but fade after a few moments. Tap again to refresh it. * Smart TV or streaming media device. Use the controller to activate X-Ray. On a Roku player, for example, press any of the directional buttons to display the on-screen controls, and X-Ray information will appear as well.  You probably noticed that in addition to the information that's relevant to the current scene, X-Ray also has an option to "See all." If you choose this, the video will pause and you'll see all the X-Ray information available for your show. It has the ability to jump directly to specific scenes, see the full cast list, musical selections, bonus material, and more.  Related coverage from Tech Reference: * How to cast content on Amazon Prime Video from an Android to your smart TV * How to use your Chromecast to stream Amazon Prime Video from your iPhone * Up to 3 people can watch Amazon Prime Video at once — here's how it compares to the competition * How to search on Amazon Prime Video for movies and TV shows on any device * How to share an Amazon Prime Video account with others by adding adults, teens, or children to your Amazon Household SEE ALSO: The best affordable TVs Join the conversation about this story » NOW WATCH: Why electric planes haven't taken off yet
