Pause Watch Party
Allow streamer to pause the video for everyone. Especially useful for Movies so you have have a break to go to the bathroom/stretch.

Thanks for reaching out with your suggestion. We’re currently investigating all kinds of different content controls, including the ability to pause a Watch Party

still waiting for this to be a thing. can't even skip to next episode after one is finished. where are the media controls for the streamer? either give us controls, or let us stream amazon prime stuff by capturing the video and using something like OBS.

Imagine the movie review streams that could happen if only there were a Pause button

Is there still no update on this, Id love to start a watch party but with being a mom streamer this would be vary difficult without a pause or rewind option.

Our channel wanted to be almost completely based on video party but we had to drop movies watching because if we had to stop at half movie we won't be able to resume it, as also fast forward doesn't work.
Please implement these controls, we really need them

Not only a pause action but the ability to rewind for people in chat who would like it brought to a certain point!

My girlfriend and I used watch party for the first time today. We had to get up multiple times for various things and were pretty bummed to find the "pause" button doesn't really pause the video play. Adding this feature would be amazing! :)

I would love this feature along with being able to rewind or even the usual "go back 10-30 seconds" feature most video streaming services have. I love looking at the background characters and analyzing movie scenes and currently not being able to pause/rewind means that most viewers won't understand the commentary because they missed it.
