Try out Twitch’s Watch parties feature on your iOS or Android mobile phone
Watch Parties is Twitch’s feature that allows streamers to broadcast Amazon Prime Video series and movies to watch with their followers live. So they can watch episodes of their favorite series as a group or premiere movies, while still interacting in the chat by commenting on the content.
The only requirement is that each of the viewers has an Amazon Prime account. And of course, the content chosen from the Prime Video catalog must be available in the user’s region.
However, to participate in these meetings to watch movies and videos, you had to join from the PC, since it did not support mobile devices. Now Twitch team announced that Watch Parties are now available on the iOS and Android versions too.
The rest of the requirements are the same. So no matter from which devices you connect and join the stream, you will have to have an Amazon Prime account to be part of the party, and that the content should be available in your region.
The first time you join, Twitch will ask you to go through a brief authorization to watch Amazon Prime content from that device. And of course, the content that is streamed will depend on the streamer’s selection.
