In order to take advantage of the feature though, you need to be subscribed to Amazon Prime or Prime Video. If you meet these requirements, starting a Watch Party is pretty easy. You just select any movie or TV show that’s included with your subscription, set up your stream, and click Start Watch Party.

It’s a great way to watch movies together with your friends, and especially your international friends as you’ll be able to comment and share a laugh or two in real-time. It’s not the same as poking your friend in the ribs every time a suspenseful scene is playing on-screen but hey, it’s still better than watching stuff alone!
