Even if it’s ideal, it’s not always possible to go see your favourite movies with friends in a cinema or organise a weekend visit to a friend’s house to watch TV on the top streaming services. Amazon has developed a service called View Party that is connected with Amazon Prime Video while other browser extensions, like Teleparty, allow you to watch TV series and movies with friends in other locations. Here is information on using Watch Party on a Fire Stick or other compatible device.
