Amazon Prime Video Watch Party is a new feature that allows prime users to chat and watch videos with friends and family. With the watch party feature, users will be able to watch Tv shows and movies in real-time. This page will walk you through all steps of creating an Amazon Prime video watch party and streaming live TV shows and movies with friends.

Prime Video Watch Party Eligibility

Who is eligible to stream the Amazon Prime video watch party? The Prime video watch party is available to all Amazon Prime Video subscribers. Once you are a Prime subscriber, you’re eligible to create a watch party on Amazon Prime or join an Amazon Prime video watch party with friends online.

With the Amazon Prime video watch party, Prime users from the same country as the host can join a Watch Party once they have a valid invite link. This implies that, for you to access Priime eligible content, you must be an Amazon Prime member/subscriber.

Sign Up for Amazon Prime Membership

Once you’re not an Amazon Prime member, you’ll not be able to create a Watch Party. So, if you’re a Non-Prime member and Prime subscriber, you must have to Sign Up for Prime membership. This will allow you to take a free trial.

Ways to Prime Watch Party

There is a number of ways you can access the Prime watch party:

• Choose from great titles included with Prime.
• Rent or Buy movies

All you need to do is to decide on a movie or TV episode and select the titles of the movies or TV episodes.

However, note that live content and Prime Video Channels content aren’t currently available for Watch Parties. If you wish to host a Watch Party for titles available for rental or purchase, you need to rent or buy that title in order to use it in the watch party.

You can also buy or rent content from friends and family. So, if you are renting or buying non-Prime titles for a watch party, both you as the host and the participants will need to have access to titles.
