Amazon Prime Video extends Watch Party feature to India

Amazon Prime Video is extending its Watch Party feature to India, nearly six months after its debut in the United States.

Available to all Prime members at no extra cost, the feature allows participants to watch video content with their friends and family members at the same time as well as socialize with them using a built-in chat feature.

Users can create their watch parties by clicking on the Watch Party icon on eligible shows or movies and sharing the link with their friends or family. For each session, the host will be able to invite up to 100 participants who are also Prime members and watching the content from within the country. They will be able to play, pause, or stop the video playback for the group.
