How Do I Start a Watch Party on Fire Tablets, Android Mobile Phones and Android Tablets?

Prime Video Watch Party allows you to chat and watch eligible titles/content with friends and family virtually.

  1. Open the Prime Video app on your Fire tablet, Android mobile phone or Android tablet.
  2. Browse titles as you would when watching on your own. Titles included with Amazon Prime or Prime Video are only available to Amazon Prime members or Prime Video subscribers. Non-Prime members/non-Prime Video subscribers will be prompted to sign up (or take a free trial, if eligible) in order to access titles Included with Prime or Prime Video. Customers who wish to host or participate in a Watch Party for titles available for rental or purchase, need only rent or buy that title in order to participate. Live content and Prime Video Channels content aren’t currently available for Watch Parties. The host must have the Prime Video Ad Free upgrade (where available) in order to start a Watch Party on content that is included with an Amazon Prime membership.
  3. Select Watch Party from the detail page. If you don’t see this option, select the More icon for further options.
  4. Enter a desired user name under Chat name.
  5. Select Create Watch Party to begin the Watch Party.

You can invite up to 100 participants. Anyone having a valid invite link can join Watch Party. However, they must be located in your country and have access to eligible Prime Video titles included with their Amazon Prime membership/Prime Video subscription.

Note: Watch Parties can be watched through the Prime Video app on supported Fire TV devices in France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, India, and Canada, the Prime Video app for selected connected devices, in addition to Android mobile phones, Android tablets, Fire tablets, iPhones, and iPads. You can also access Prime Video Watch Parties on desktop web browsers, except for Apple's Safari.
