Finding ways to be "together" these days has us getting more creative. Amazon Prime Video announced 'Prime Video Watch Party' just in ties for the holidays.
Prime Video customers in Canada can now enjoy Prime Video Watch Party, a native social viewing experience on desktop that is available for Prime members at no additional cost to their Prime membership.
Customers will be able to choose from thousands of titles available in Prime Video’s SVOD catalog including Amazon Originals such as Emmy Award winners Fleabag and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Wilds, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Boys, HANNA, Upload, Utopia, Truth Seekers and Homecoming, among many others. The experience is ideal for the upcoming holiday season as we celebrate together virtually.
Prime Video Customers are able to host and participate in Watch Party, providing synchronized playback which the host controls, and a chat feature to communicate with participants. Watch Party will accommodate up to 100 participants per session. Note: Each participant must have a Prime membership.
