Let people from the Teen Program login to watch Watch Parties. Currently people from the Teen Program get an error when trying to watch Watch Parties, but normally have access to Prime just not through the Watch Parties login.

Allow non prime members to use Watch Parties It is a great idea but a failed launch. It kicks people out of the watch party, and leaves a silent window with just you in their with the watch party. Unless you have a good scene, it can be embarrassing and low grade quality to not allow others to be in the party.
I stopped the film because I lost all of my viewers after I switched over to Watch Parties from a "just chatting" while I was gathering a crowd to watch the show. However, this app forces people to sign up for Prime, or start a trial.…

Add More Category’s Add more categories so people can find streamers doing things they are interested in, try and break up all the just chatting streamers so they have more specific things to say what they are streaming. I’d like a Graphic Design category personally.

Squad Stream Petition There should be a process for new teams of creators to petition for squad streaming services. There are groups that want to make a multi stream twitch channels. I believe there should be a process to determine if the idea is worthy. Having to be a partner stops the ideas and niche streaming possibilities. And delays other small streamers from getting momentum.

Make it clear to non-prime subscribers that they need prime to participate One of the complaints that I received during one of my recent watch party streams is that a viewers messages were never appearing in chat. This was because they did not have a valid prime subscription. My recommendation would be to treat the watch party like a subscriber only stream and/or like a VOD for the duration of the watch party and lift those restrictions when the watch party isn't happening. It would also be nice if there was something to tell them to connect their prime account or direct them on how to get prime so that they can…

Make it clearer for viewers joining the stream what you are watching and where you are One idea from one of my community members was that they would like to know what is being watched and where in the video we are. That way, they don't jump into random streams at a random position and get spoiled by something in a movie that they haven't seen yet.
10 votesThanks for the feedback. We do allow users to see the title of the content and time elapsed/remaining if they mouse over the content in your stream. But it would definitely be beneficial to know what’s playing before you even click into a Watch Party. We’ll look into this!

Add a "Jump to next episode" button for series When watching a TV Series (such as Made in Abyss), it would be nice to have a "Start next episode" button somewhere, possibly when the credits start to roll. The current process for playing the next episode is as follows:
- Go back to the Creator's Dashboard
- End/Cancel the current watch party (or wait for it to end)
- Start a new watch party
- Scroll all the way down to the episode that you want, then click it
- Select the season that you want to watch
- Hope you remember what episode that you just finished so that you can select the next…

My current feedback and experience A few ppl had issues trying to switch their amazon prime logins but other then that everything went pretty good my biggest gripe tho.Was that when watching a show we shouldn't have to restart the watch party and scroll through the list to find the show again then scroll through the list and pick the next episode. Having it automatically start the next episode or atleast start it but then have it countdown to something or ask the Streamer if they want to start the next episode it would be soooo much better then having to literally sift through the…

View watch party from dashboard Currently in order to view the watch party you have to view it in a tab separate from the dashboard. If you wanted to run a poll of the viewers as to what to watch next you would have to leave the watch tab to go back to the dashboard and set up the poll from there. If we are not able to view the watch party in the dashboard could we add a poll creation button on the watch party page for the host?
16 votesThanks for reaching out with your suggestion. At this point, you’ll need to create a poll in your Stream Manager.
However, if you have Channel Moderators or Editors, they can create and manage a Poll through the /poll command in chat which will bring up the Poll module. Channel Moderators and Editors can also end and delete polls with /endpoll and /deletepoll respectively.

fast forward Give the ability to fast forward content.
for instance if a stream is cut off due to an internet problem and the stream has to restart the watch party from the beginning7 votesThanks for your feedback! We’re currently investigating all kinds of different content controls, including the ability to fast forward and rewind a Watch Party. This is a great suggestion as we continue to build out our roadmap for the rest of the year.

Watch Party Scroll Bar While streaming last night, my stream lost connection and had to restart it about 10 mins later. I wasn't able to resume the movie where I had left off so having a scroll bar/jog bar or even chapters would greatly help in the event of lost connections as it stinks having to restart a movie/show from the very beginning due to something that can't be controlled.
13 votesThanks for reaching out, and apologies for the frustration. There are lots of different content controls that we’re investigating for our future roadmap, and we will add this one to the list!

Hype Train Rewards & Incentives With the Hype Train being implemented and having such a positive effect on content creator's channels, I think it would be worthwhile to add more rewards. The conductor badges have been HUGE for showing who is genuinely supporting, as well as the emotes that get dispensed. A few ideas I have to give more incentives for donating bits and gifting subs are things such as; Names in chat have more unique traits for those who have been top supporters, such as all gold names, rainbow names, special fonts etc. The ability to add exciting alerts for when new levels have…

Watch Parties compatibility with Twitch Mobile App I have encountered issues where loyal viewers are unable to participate in a Watch Party because they are unable to view on a browser and only have access to my stream via the Twitch Mobile App. Watch Party compatibility on the Mobile App would be greatly beneficial to the viewers, and also streamers if they would be able to access and control Watch Parties via the Mobile Dashboard!

Watch Parties with Crunchyroll/Funimation! Anime fans and streamers have long been waiting for the day when a streaming platform allowed this to happen, and seeing how the current partnership with Amazon with Watch Parties is doing, it might not be so far fetched after all. It would be extremely cool, if you one day partnered with Crunchyroll or Funimation for Watch Parties! It would be the coolest thing ever, especially with everyone staying home due to the Covid-19 epidemic! Imagine the viewing experience! Anime nights would finally be possible!
25 votesThanks for reaching out! We’ve recently made the entire Prime Video catalog available in Watch Parties, which includes thousands of movies and television shows (including lots of anime).
We are also looking into partnering with other content providers to add even more content to Watch Parties.

Heavier on mockbuster types What movies do you want to watch with friends? Ones you want to talk about and laugh about. More horror movies, mockbusters, creature features, classic stuff. Why can we watch Tom Clancy but we can't watch Velocipastor? Which would you rather watch alone vs with your friends?

Option to choose next episode without exiting watch party and an auto-play next episode. So in watch parties whenever you are watching an episode towards the end you have to end the watch party and pretty much start a new one to move on to the next episode. Would be nice if it had some type of auto-play next episode or allow the streamer to select the next episode in a drop box or menu without exiting out of watch party.
31 votesThanks for the suggestion! This is another feature we’re investigating in order to make it easier for you to seamlessly host your Watch Parties. Our team is currently discussing auto-play, along with several other content controls.
