I am running Ubuntu-Mate 22.04.
I play Amazon videos and often the light level is low.
I did a search but could not find any thing helpful.
Is there a way that I can make those light levels higher?

I will assume you are watching Amazon videos in a browser at https://www.primevideo.com/ . Amazons says that option is available for all platforms.
If it's an app instead, it would be more difficult to modify the brightness. Any special video effects that Windows might have are bundled with the graphics driver. That is not generally available on Windows, and injecting stuff there is difficult.
Here, I will use the simple solution of injecting a stylesheet to apply a filter effect on the <video>
element. This is easier and less invasive than trying to enhance the video through the Ubuntu system.
