Twitch is expanding the beta for Watch Parties to all U.S. Twitch partners, enabling people to watch Amazon Prime movies and television shows together, even though they’re physically apart.

Watch Parties enable Twitch creators and their viewers with active Prime memberships to watch a selection of popular movies and TV shows available on Prime Video, including Amazon Originals such Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Troop Zero, and Hunters, as well as third-party shows such as Star Trek and Survivor. It’s a way for people to gather while physically isolated because of the pandemic.
