How SyncUp Works with Prime Video
SyncUp natively supports YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and thousands of HTML5 video sites - no extension needed. For streaming services like Prime Video, our free browser extension enables synchronized playback. Each person needs their own Prime Video subscription.
Amazon discontinued Watch Party on April 2, 2024
Prime Video used to have a built-in Watch Party, launched back in 2020. Amazon discontinued it on April 2, 2024. Last verified: May 2026. As of now there is no native Prime Video watch-party option, so syncing a show with friends means using a separate tool that lines everyone up.
SyncUp is one way to do that. It mirrors play, pause, and seek across the room within about 200ms over a WebSocket connection. The video itself still streams from Amazon at your own quality, since SyncUp syncs timing only and does not re-stream or compress anything. If you are weighing options, the watch party apps comparison goes through the current alternatives.
A few Prime Video specifics
- Each viewer needs their own Amazon Prime Video access to the same title, whether it is included with Prime, rented, or bought.
- Prime Video catalogs differ by region, so a title in one country may not be available in another. Check that everyone can open it before you press play.
- You will need the free SyncUp extension on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. It is desktop-only, as mobile browsers do not run extensions. Free rooms hold up to 5 people.
