On streaming platforms, IT developers are constantly looking for a fun feature or tool that will entice users to keep them better. In this little game, Netflix often led the dance.
A new pick of the day, a random read for those who are too lazy to browse the catalog or even delete current programs… Netflix takes care of finding a practical tool. But Prime Video is getting beat by Watch Party! The feature is available in France from July 5.
But what then? This feature allows Prime Video subscribers to watch the same program – such as Terminal List? – between friends at the same time in each house. This is the same principle as the Watch Parties found on Twitch. You can activate this new feature from a connected TV, as well as video game consoles and all other connected devices.
This version of Watch Party Prime Video can accommodate up to 100 people! Ideal for those who have a lot of friends or a very large family and this is an opportunity to bring them together for the same event. So participants can talk together while watching a movie or series. And of course, everyone must be subscribed to the service.
The Watch Party idea evolved and captured internet users at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing people to meet virtually if they couldn’t physically see each other. Consequently, this functionality responds to a new use that will evolve into a new mode of communication and sharing.
For convenience: Watch Parties can be viewed through the Prime Video app on Fire TV compatible devices France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, India and Canada, with the Prime Video app for select connected devices except Android mobile phones, Android tablets, Fire tablets, iPhones and iPads. You can also access Watch Parties Prime Video on desktop web browsers, excluding Microsoft Internet Explorer and Apple Safari.
