UPDATE:
"Hello Rani,
This is Nadene from Amazon customer services. It was my pleasure assisting you today.
I’m sorry; your Amazon Prime membership type isn’t eligible for Twitch Prime benefits.
All Prime membership types except for invitees and members who get their benefits via an Amazon Household are eligible. Prime Student members who are currently getting their benefits at no cost will only receive a single 30-day free channel subscription with their membership. Prime Video-only free trial memberships are not eligible for a free channel subscription with their Twitch Prime benefits.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.
We'd appreciate your feedback. Please use the buttons below to vote about your experience today.
Best regards,
Nadene S.

I am considered an "invitee" as I am "invited" to my husbands Prime account as his spouse and therefore not eligible for ALL Prime/Twitch Prime benefits.
I actually streamed most my Amazon Customer Service interaction(s) when I was trying to get answer (I did not realize "invitees" don't get full benefits).
This (May 10, 2020) morning I thought to retry hosting a watch party.... I am not sure why or how, but the watch party feature ACTUALLY permitted my host and allowed me to watch as well.
I hereby express my gratitude to Twitch and Amazon staff that "fixed" my "issue". Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Authorizing your Prime account for Watch Party use is a requirement but your participation is not limited by the type of Amazon Prime membership as may have been suggested. We are glad to see that your issue was resolved.
