Adding a streaming service

Hello from ShortsTV, what would be the best person or team to contact to add our streaming services (ShortsTV on Amazon Prime Video, ShortsTV+) to the current list of preferred services?

Thanks, Michael

Let me try to clarify my request.  I'd like to understand how our streaming service (ShortsTV+) can be listed along other streaming services (e.g. Netflix, Disney+, etc.) in your "What to watch" section so that users can select it as a one of their preferred services.  I guess, I need to discuss with the team in charge of the relationship with content partners.

Just to note Disney+ in particular is not yet integrated into IMDb's where-to-watch system, yet DisneyNow is. Took a few years for Netflix to be integrated.

Hi @Mbu -

At this time, we are only displaying watch options from our selected partners.

Thanks for understanding.

The IMDb employee Maya mentioned something about how a movie or series must be cataloged on the Amazon streaming service, in order for this work, but apparently it may depend on a few other things too. As near as I can tell, the simplest way for VOD companies to get listed is as a provider, a channel, within the Amazon Prime infrastructure, like for examples, AMC's streaming service and BET's streaming service.

Hi @Bethanny​, we would like to become a partner and, for that, I wooudl need to find the right contact at IMDb to discuss it. Depending on the territories, the list of selected partners are different. For example, in India, users can find the ‘Where to Watch’ information from a wide set of platforms, including Hotstar, JioCinema, MX Player, Netflix, Prime Video, SonyLIV, Sun NXT, TVFPlay, Voot, Voot Kids and Zee5.

I would appreciate if you could please help me on this matter so that we can have our services integrated with your platform. Thanks.
