The 10 Best Apps to Watch Amazon Prime Together in 2026

Amazon retired its native watch party feature, so to watch Amazon Prime together in 2026 you need a third-party app. Here are the 10 best, tested and ranked.

Updated 2026-06-21 · Watchly works on iOS, Android & Chrome

Here is the thing nobody tells you when you go looking for a prime video watch party in 2026: Amazon killed its own one. The native Prime Video Watch Party feature was shut down on April 2, 2024, and it has not come back. There is no official Amazon replacement, so if you want to watch Amazon Prime together with someone in another city, you now need a third-party app that syncs playback across screens.

The good news is that the third-party scene is better than Amazon's old feature ever was. Some tools sync play, pause and seek so every viewer streams from their own account in perfect time. Others run Prime Video inside a shared cloud browser so only the host needs a subscription. A few add real voice and video chat instead of just a text sidebar. The trade-offs matter, and the wrong pick leaves you staring at a black DRM screen or fighting with browser extensions.

We tested the realistic options on the criteria that actually decide a movie night: sync accuracy, voice and chat, which devices are supported, and whether everyone needs their own login. Our number one pick overall is Watchly — the only option here with native iOS and Android apps plus a Chrome extension and built-in push-to-talk voice. Here is the full ranked list.

The 10 best apps to watch Amazon Prime together in 2026

Ranked for sync accuracy, voice and chat, device support, and ease of setup.

2

Teleparty

Most popular free browser extension

Best for: Casual groups who want the simplest free, no-friction way to sync Prime Video in a browserChrome, Edge, Opera & other Chromium browsers (desktop); limited Android appFree; optional Teleparty Premium

Teleparty, formerly Netflix Party, is the household name of watch-party extensions and the easiest free entry point. Install it in Chrome or Edge, start a title on Prime Video, and share the party link — playback syncs across everyone with a real-time text chat in the sidebar. It officially supports Prime Video and even has a dedicated Prime Video page, and it also covers Netflix, Disney+, Max, Hulu and YouTube.

The limits are the same ones that define this category: it is desktop browser only for hosting, there is no built-in voice or video chat (text only), and every participant needs their own Prime Video login. For a free, no-cost movie night in a browser, it is hard to beat — just do not expect to host from a phone or a TV.

Pros

  • Free and extremely easy to set up
  • Largest user base and most polished extension
  • Officially markets Prime Video support

Cons

  • Desktop browser only; no TV or console support
  • Text chat only — no voice or video
  • Everyone needs their own Prime Video login
3

Scener

Virtual theater with video chat

Best for: Friends who want a camera-on movie-night feel rather than just a chat sidebarChrome on Windows/macOS (extension to host); mobile browsers join chat onlyFree to host and join; Scener Premium for full A/V

Scener turns a synced Prime Video session into an event. Its Chrome extension keeps playback in time across major services including Amazon Prime Video, while layering on a 'virtual theater' with up to 10 people on camera plus a wider audience. That face-to-face video chat is the thing Teleparty lacks, which makes Scener feel more like a real night out.

The catch is that the best audio and video features sit behind Scener Premium (with a 3-day free trial), and hosting is Chrome-only on desktop. The free tier still works for basic synced watching, and as always each viewer needs their own Prime subscription. If you want webcams on screen while you watch, this is a strong browser-based choice.

Pros

  • Adds face-to-face video chat over synced playback
  • Explicitly supports Amazon Prime Video
  • Free tier is usable for basic synced watching

Cons

  • Chrome-only for hosting
  • Best A/V features are behind Premium
  • Each viewer needs their own Prime subscription
4

TwoSeven

Private rooms with built-in webcam chat

Best for: Couples and small groups who want synced Prime Video plus webcam chat in one private roomBrowser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera (desktop); web app for roomsFree tier; paid 'Plus' subscription

TwoSeven is built around private, invite-only rooms with video, voice and text chat baked in. Through its browser extension it syncs Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and HBO, and it also plays YouTube, Vimeo and uploaded files without a download. For two people watching across a distance, having synced streaming and a webcam feed in the same room is exactly the point.

Premium streaming services do require installing the extension, the interface is more utilitarian than polished, and each participant still needs their own Prime Video account. The free tier is generous, and Plus adds higher quality. It is a tidy all-in-one for date-night co-watching.

Pros

  • Integrated video chat alongside synced streaming
  • Wide platform support including Prime Video
  • Generous free tier

Cons

  • Premium services require the extension
  • Interface is utilitarian
  • Each participant needs their own Prime account
5

Kosmi

Shared cloud browser, no extension

Best for: Groups who want an all-in-one free hangout with webcams and no installsWeb (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) plus native iOS and Android appsFree with no signup; Premium for higher resolution

Kosmi takes a different route: instead of an extension, it runs a shared virtual browser that keeps Prime Video playback in sync automatically, with voice, video and text chat built in. There is nothing to install and no account needed to start, and because it has native iOS and Android apps it stretches beyond the desktop. It also throws in screen sharing, file sharing, games and music.

Streaming quality through the virtual browser depends on the host setup, and higher-resolution screen share is a Premium feature. Because it is a shared browser, often only the person hosting needs Prime access. For a free, install-free group hangout with webcams, it is one of the most flexible options here.

Pros

  • Fully integrated video chat plus watch party
  • No extension or account needed to begin
  • Generous free tier across web and mobile

Cons

  • Quality depends on the host's virtual-browser setup
  • Higher-resolution screen share is Premium
  • Someone in the room still needs Prime access
6

Hyperbeam Watch Party

Cloud browser for mismatched devices

Best for: Friends with mismatched devices or weak connections who want a zero-install watch partyWeb-based (any modern browser on desktop and mobile)Free tier with limits; paid plan around $5/mo

Hyperbeam's watch party runs Prime Video on its own servers inside a multiplayer cloud browser, so everyone sees and can control the same screen without needing a strong local connection. You can pass control to any participant, and there is built-in chat plus audio and video calling, playlists and emoji reactions. It works in any browser on desktop or mobile, so mismatched devices are not a problem.

The free tier caps session length and adds a cooldown between sessions, logging into a shared cloud browser for a paid service can be fiddly, and quality depends on Hyperbeam's servers rather than yours. The consumer version now lives at watch.hyperbeam.com. For zero-install, browser-agnostic watching, it is a clever fit.

Pros

  • No extension or local streaming needed
  • Works across desktop and mobile in the browser
  • Watch almost any website together

Cons

  • Free tier has session-length and cooldown limits
  • Logging into paid services can be fiddly
  • Quality depends on Hyperbeam's servers
7

Watch2Gether

Flexible rooms that mix sources

Best for: People who want a low-cost room that mixes Prime Video with YouTube and other sourcesWeb (w2g.tv) plus W2gSync extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera; community Android appFree with ads; Plus ~$2.90/mo, Pro ~$7.90/mo

Watch2Gether is a long-running web platform built around shared rooms with synchronized playback and built-in text chat. You can spin up a basic room with no account, and its W2gSync browser extension syncs paid services like Amazon Prime, Netflix and Disney+. It also natively handles YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and SoundCloud, so it is handy when a night mixes a Prime film with YouTube clips.

Premium streaming sync requires the W2gSync extension, the free tier carries ads, and there is no native video chat — text only. The cheap Plus and Pro tiers remove ads and add room controls. It is a flexible, budget-friendly option if you live across multiple sources rather than just Prime Video.

Pros

  • Free to start with no signup for a quick room
  • Supports Amazon Prime via the W2gSync extension
  • Cheap premium tiers to remove ads

Cons

  • Premium sync requires the W2gSync extension
  • Ads on the free tier
  • Text chat only — no native video chat
8

Apple SharePlay (FaceTime)

Free and built in for Apple groups

Best for: All-Apple friend groups who want a free, native, perfectly synced Prime Video sessioniPhone, iPad and Mac via FaceTime; requires the Prime Video appFree (built into iOS/iPadOS/macOS)

If everyone is on Apple devices, SharePlay is the most frictionless free option. Start a FaceTime call, open the Prime Video app, and playback syncs perfectly for everyone, with shared controls so anyone can play or pause — all while FaceTime audio and video keeps you talking face to face. There is no extension or extra app to install because it is native to iOS, iPadOS and macOS.

The hard limit is the ecosystem: every participant must be on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, and each needs their own Prime Video subscription. There is no support for Windows, Android or TVs. Within an all-Apple circle, though, it is hard to beat for free, perfectly synced co-watching.

Pros

  • Completely free and built into Apple devices
  • Perfect sync plus FaceTime video chat
  • No browser extension needed

Cons

  • Apple-only; no Windows, Android or TVs
  • Requires the Prime Video app and each person's own subscription
9

Prime Party (QVI)

Single-purpose Prime Video extension

Best for: Prime Video purists who want a focused, free Chrome extension instead of a multi-service toolChrome (and Chromium browsers) on desktopFree

Prime Party is a lightweight Chrome extension built only for Amazon Prime Video. Because it does one thing, setup is focused: install it, start a title, share a link, and a low-profile chat sidebar appears with synced playback controls. It is free, actively maintained (updated March 2026, around 60,000 users), and the chat stays out of the way.

The trade-offs are obvious — it is Prime Video only, Chrome desktop only, and text chat only, and each viewer needs their own Prime account. Its 3.8-star rating reflects the occasional sync hiccup. If you want a single-purpose tool with nothing extra, it does the job.

Pros

  • Dedicated to Prime Video, so setup is simple
  • Free and actively updated
  • Lightweight chat that stays out of the way

Cons

  • Prime Video only; Chrome desktop only
  • Text chat only
  • Each viewer needs their own Prime account; occasional sync hiccups
10

Discord

Screen-share for existing communities

Best for: Existing Discord communities where one person hosts and streams with voice chatWindows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, web and consoleFree; Nitro (~$9.99/mo) for higher resolution

Discord is not a true sync tool, but it is everywhere, and for a server that already hangs out together it is a quick path. One person uses Go Live to screen-share a Prime Video tab into a voice channel, and everyone watches with excellent built-in voice and video chat. Only the host needs a Prime subscription, and it works across desktop, mobile and console.

The honest catch is that this is one host broadcasting, not synced playback, and Prime Video's DRM often blacks out the video when you screen-share, which means hunting for workarounds like disabling hardware acceleration. Free-tier resolution is limited without Nitro. For a casual hang in an existing community, it can work; for reliable Prime Video sync, a purpose-built tool is better.

Pros

  • Free with excellent built-in voice and video chat
  • Cross-platform and widely already installed
  • Only the host needs a Prime subscription

Cons

  • Screen-share, not true synced playback
  • DRM can cause a black screen on Prime Video
  • Limited resolution without Nitro

How we picked

Every app here is real and active in 2026, and every one can genuinely watch prime video together in some form. We deliberately excluded tools that no longer fit. Amazon's own native Watch Party was shut down on April 2, 2024, and Twitch's Prime Video Watch Parties ended the same day. Standalone apps like Kast and Rave have wound down or been pulled from app stores, so we left them off. Plex Watch Together is excluded too — it only syncs your personal media, not Prime Video.

We ranked on four things that decide whether a movie night actually works: how accurately playback stays in sync, whether there is voice or video chat or only text, which devices and platforms are supported, and whether the tool is free or needs a subscription. Watchly takes the top spot because it is the only option with native iOS and Android apps plus a Chrome extension and built-in push-to-talk voice — the rest are mostly desktop browser extensions.

What to look for

  • Sync accuracy. Sync-based tools (Watchly, Teleparty, Scener, TwoSeven, Watch2Gether, Apple SharePlay) keep every viewer's stream in time. Shared cloud browsers (Kosmi, Hyperbeam) drive one screen for the group. Screen-sharing (Discord) is the loosest and most prone to DRM black screens.
  • Voice and chat. Many extensions offer text chat only. If you want to actually talk, look at Watchly's push-to-talk voice, or the video chat in Scener, TwoSeven, Kosmi and Apple SharePlay.
  • Devices. Most extensions are desktop-only. For phones, tablets and the couch, native apps matter — Watchly and Kosmi have them, and SharePlay covers Apple devices.
  • Which services. Pick a tool that matches your night. Watchly also handles Netflix, HBO Max and YouTube in one app, so you are not juggling extensions.
  • Free vs. paid and no-signup. Teleparty, Kosmi and SharePlay are free to start; Watchly is free for YouTube and uses Pro for premium services. Some tools let friends join by link with no account.

Watch together vs. each on your own subscription

One rule trips people up. For sync-based apps — Watchly, Teleparty, Scener, TwoSeven, Watch2Gether and Apple SharePlay — every viewer streams the title from their own Prime Video account, so everyone needs their own Amazon Prime subscription. This is not a quirk of any one app; it is how legitimate, licensed watch parties work. With shared-browser or screen-share tools like Kosmi, Hyperbeam and Discord, generally only the host needs Prime because everyone watches the host's screen.

If you are coordinating across time zones, that detail is worth settling before movie night so nobody is locked out at showtime. For more on doing this well over distance, our guide to long-distance apps goes deeper. When you are ready to start, you can get Watchly free and have a room running in a couple of minutes.

Watch Amazon Prime Together FAQ

Does Amazon Prime Video still have its own Watch Party feature in 2026?
No. Amazon discontinued the native Prime Video Watch Party on April 2, 2024, and it is still gone in 2026 with no official replacement. When it existed, it ran only in web browsers (not Safari), synced playback with a chatroom for up to 100 viewers in the same Amazon region. Today you need a third-party tool to watch Prime Video together.
What is the easiest free way to watch Prime Video together in 2026?
For a quick browser session, the free Teleparty extension is the simplest: install it in Chrome or Edge, start a title on Prime Video, and share the link. If you want native phone apps and built-in voice chat instead of text only, Watchly is free to start and works on iOS, Android and Chrome. Everyone still needs their own Prime login.
Can I watch Prime Video together with voice or video chat, not just text?
Yes. Watchly adds built-in push-to-talk voice chat right next to the video, which most browser extensions lack. Scener, TwoSeven and Kosmi include webcam video chat over synced playback, and Apple SharePlay adds FaceTime video for all-Apple groups. Teleparty and Prime Party are text-chat only.
Why does Prime Video show a black screen when I screen-share on Discord or Zoom?
Prime Video uses DRM copy protection that often blacks out the video during a screen share. You can sometimes fix it by disabling hardware acceleration in your browser, but a more reliable path is a purpose-built sync tool like Watchly, Teleparty or Scener, or a shared cloud browser like Kosmi or Hyperbeam that avoids screen-sharing entirely.
Do all participants need their own Amazon Prime subscription to join a watch party?
For sync-based tools like Watchly, Teleparty, Scener, TwoSeven, Watch2Gether and Apple SharePlay, yes — every viewer streams the title from their own Prime Video account. With shared-browser or screen-share tools like Kosmi, Hyperbeam and Discord, generally only the host needs a Prime subscription because everyone watches the host's screen.
Can I watch Prime Video together on my phone or smart TV?
Options are limited on most apps because browser extensions like Teleparty and Prime Party are desktop-only. For phones, Watchly has native iOS and Android apps, Kosmi and Hyperbeam work on mobile browsers, and Apple SharePlay covers iPhone and iPad. Smart TVs and consoles are generally not supported by watch-party tools.
Is Apple SharePlay a good way to watch Prime Video together?
Yes, if everyone is on Apple devices. SharePlay in FaceTime syncs Prime Video playback perfectly and adds FaceTime video chat, free and built in. The catch is that every participant must be on an iPhone, iPad or Mac with their own Prime Video subscription. For mixed Apple and Android groups, a cross-platform app like Watchly fits better.
