What occurred during Covid in 2020 is gradually becoming a distant memory as people are getting back to doing things outside of their homes. It was an unforgettable time when the world was forced to stay inside their houses and do everything within the confines of their four walls.
Such incidents also gave birth to innovative adjustments in the various lifestyles of the people including entertainment. Amazon Prime Video launched the Watch Party co-viewing feature to create a way for their users to enjoy watching movies together in real time even when physical distancing is strictly implemented.
Those who participated in a particular Watch Party are able to stream movies and TV shows in sync using different devices from different locations. While the content is streamed, participants can communicate through chat, as if they are watching the video side-by-side. They can join a watch together party via their Android or iOS device, Fire TV or selected web browsers.
A very sad news to lovers of the Prime Video Watch Party. Amazon has quietly removed the said feature on their Prime Video platform. The giant streaming company has not yet announced the reason for such a move, but there are speculations of low usage of the feature.
People are now catching up with everything mostly outside their homes and Watch Party’s, while an excellent tool, may no longer be applicable. Still, it remains a valuable solution for families and friends who desire to spend time with their loved ones even when they are miles apart.
