What is Amazon Watch Party?

Amazon Watch Party is a social viewing feature offered by Amazon Prime Video that allows users to stream movies and TV shows simultaneously with friends and family, creating a shared viewing experience regardless of physical location.

Key Aspects of Amazon Watch Party

This feature is designed to bring people together to enjoy content from the Prime Video library in a synchronized environment. It goes beyond simple streaming by incorporating interactive elements.

• Group Viewing: Up to 100 friends or family members can join a single Watch Party session. This makes it ideal for large group gatherings or smaller, intimate viewings.
• Synchronized Playback: All participants watch the content at the same time, with the host having control over playback (play, pause, fast forward, rewind) for the entire group.
• Interactive Chat: A built-in chat function allows participants to communicate and react in real-time as they watch, enhancing the communal aspect of the experience.
• Exclusive to Prime Members: Access to Amazon Watch Party is exclusively available to Amazon Prime customers. Non-Prime members cannot participate.
• Geographical Restriction: All individuals participating in a Watch Party must be located within the same country to join and interact during the session. This ensures content licensing and availability are consistent for everyone.

Furthermore, the content available to watch within a party is limited to titles included with a Prime subscription or purchased/rented content that all participants have access to.
