Available today on Google Chrome web browsers, SLING Watch Party allows customers to invite up to three guests to enjoy shared TV viewing experiences, comparable to watching SLING TV and being on a video call with their favorite people on one screen.
You can create a Watch Party from both Live and pre-recorded videos. During a Live video, you can add a co-host to your Watch Party.
Watch Parties are available on desktop browsers, except Apple's Safari. Other devices such as Fire TV, smart TVs, game consoles, connected media players, mobile phones, and tablets are currently not supported.
You may stream up to three videos at the same time using the same Amazon account. You may stream the same video to no more than two devices at a time.
Go to a streaming site and open a video. For example, go to Netflix and choose any show you would like to watch and start playing the video. To create your party, click on the red "NP" icon located next to the address bar. Then click "Start Party" to get the party started, and share the party URL to invite friends.
By synchronizing your YouTube playback experience across your watch party, YouTube Party offers a new way to experience watching your favorite videos with your friends and family around the world! As you watch, you can chat and communicate about your favorite moments!
