Short answer

Prime Video no longer has a watch party. Amazon removed Watch Party in spring 2024, and there is no built-in way to watch Prime Video together today. Groups use a browser extension that syncs each person's own player, or start the title at the same time and talk on a call. AniDachi's Prime Video support is coming in an update; today it syncs Netflix, Crunchyroll and YouTube.

How to Watch Prime Video Together Today

Until AniDachi adds Prime Video, this is the setup that works: everyone plays the title on their own account, and you talk on a call.

  1. 1

    Open the same title on your own account

    Each person signs in to their own Prime Video and opens the same movie or episode. Say the episode number out loud, and check that everyone can find the title in their country.
  2. 2

    Keep the players together

    Use a browser extension that lists Prime Video support, such as Teleparty, so play, pause and seek stay in sync. Without one, count down and press play at the same moment.
  3. 3

    Talk on a call

    Use a phone, Discord or Zoom call for voice. Don't share your screen: Prime Video's DRM usually turns a screen share black.

What happened to Amazon Watch Party

Prime Video's Watch Party let Prime members start a title together and talk in a shared chat. Amazon dropped it in spring 2024 without an announcement. Reports put the end date at 2 April 2024, and its help pages were taken down. It hasn't come back.

Prime Video wasn't alone: Disney+ removed GroupWatch the year before. So "Amazon watch party" now means a third-party tool.

Three setups work for watching Prime Video with friends online. They differ in how well playback stays together after someone pauses.

  • A sync extension

    Each person plays the title on their own account, and the extension keeps the players together. Teleparty lists Prime Video on its free version, with video sync and text chat; its voice and video chat need Teleparty Premium.

  • A countdown

    Everyone opens the same title and presses play on three. It costs nothing and works on TVs and phones, but playback drifts apart and every pause needs another countdown.

  • A screen share

    One person shares their screen on a call. On Prime Video this usually shows a black screen, because the video is DRM-protected.

Does everyone need Prime Video?

Yes, for any setup that plays the video on each person's screen. Sync tools line up separate players, and nobody's video is sent to the others. Teleparty's FAQ says each participant needs access to an account for the service being used, and the same will apply to AniDachi.

Can a group share one Amazon account? Only up to a point. Prime Video's Usage Rules allow up to three streams at the same time on one Amazon account, but the same video on no more than two devices at a time. So two people can watch one film on one account; a third needs their own. Titles also differ by country, so check that everyone can open the title before the night.

AniDachi and Prime Video

AniDachi is a Chrome extension that keeps everyone's player on the same moment, with chat, reactions, and voice and video calls in the room. Prime Video support is coming in an update. Until it ships, this is what works:

If your group also watches Netflix, Crunchyroll or YouTube, you can install AniDachi now and use it for those. Chrome updates extensions automatically, so Prime Video support arrives in the same install. Free includes 20 minutes a day for rooms of up to 4 people, including you. Plus and Pro have no daily time limit. Friends join free.

Anime on Prime Video vs Crunchyroll

Prime Video carries some anime, depending on your country: Vinland Saga Season 2, Made in Abyss, The Rising of the Shield Hero and a few originals such as Ninja Kamui. Crunchyroll has the larger catalog, including Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece and most current simulcasts, and AniDachi syncs it today in a Crunchyroll watch party.

Prime Video on Discord

Sharing Prime Video in a Discord call often shows friends a black screen with the audio still playing. The DRM that protects the video causes it, and Prime Video's terms forbid working around it. Why it happens and what to do instead is in how to stream Prime Video on Discord.

Frequently asked questions

What happened to Prime Video Watch Party?

Amazon removed it in spring 2024 without a public announcement; reports put the end date at 2 April 2024. It let Prime members watch the same title with a shared chat. Prime Video has had no built-in way to watch together since.

How can I watch Prime Video with friends online now?

Use a browser extension that lists Prime Video support, such as Teleparty, which syncs everyone's player and adds a text chat on its free tier. Without an extension, start the title at the same moment on everyone's own account and talk on a call, but it drifts after every pause.

Does AniDachi work with Prime Video?

Not yet. Prime Video support is coming in an update. Today AniDachi syncs Crunchyroll, Netflix and YouTube in desktop Chrome, and Chrome updates the extension automatically when Prime Video is added.

Does everyone need Prime Video for a watch party?

Yes. Sync tools play the title on each person's own player, so every viewer needs access to Prime Video and the same title in their country. Teleparty's FAQ says the same about its parties.

Can a group share one Amazon account for a watch party?

Not for one title. Prime Video's Usage Rules allow up to three streams at once on one Amazon account, but the same video on no more than two devices at a time. A third friend needs their own access.

Can you stream Prime Video on Discord?

Usually not with a picture. Prime Video protects its video with DRM, so a Discord Go Live share often shows friends a black screen. Keep Discord for voice and have each person play the title on their own account.
