Twitch Now Allows Anyone to Host Prime Video Watch Parties, Here’s How to Use It

Back in June, Amazon Prime Video started allowing users tostart watch partieswith their friends and family to enjoy movies and TV shows together. Now, Amazon-ownedTwitchhas rolled out Prime Video watch parties globally.

The move comes at a time when theCoronaviruspandemic has kept most of us at home, unable to hang out with friends and family. Moreover, it’s a strategically good idea for Twitch. If recent reports are to be believed, non-gaming content on the platform has been outperforming gaming content.

Using Twitch’s Watch Parties is fairly straightforward, and you will need to stream yourself for anyone to watch. So keep that in mind. Anyway, if you’re interested in watching your favourite movies with your friends, fans, and basically anyone who cares to join, here’s how you can start a watch party right now.

Keep in mind that even though the feature has rolled out globally, there are some limitations. For one, Watch Party only works on the web browser right now. Also, due to geographical restrictions and copyrights, some content may not be available to stream on Twitch. Also, everyone who wants to join the Watch Party must have a Prime Video account.
