Prime Video Watch Party

Watch Prime Video Together with Your Partner

Long-distance movie nights on Prime Video, without the countdown. SyncCouch is a free Chrome extension that keeps Prime Video playback in step between you and your partner — play, pause, seek, and playback speed sync both ways, while text chat, voice and video chat, and emoji reactions run alongside the show. Prime puts ads inside the video itself and yours won't match your partner's, so SyncCouch follows Prime's own player timeline to keep you on the same moment of the episode, and each of you waits for the other's ad break to end. It runs on primevideo.com, with AI show recommendations (coming soon) filtered by Prime Video's actual Indian catalog. Both partners stream directly from their own Prime accounts — nothing is shared, mirrored, or re-encoded, and each of you keeps your own quality.

Free forever for sync, chat & voice · Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave

Why use SyncCouch for Prime Video?

Platform-specific features that make your watch party seamless.

Ad breaks, handled

Prime gives each of you your own ads, and they can be different lengths. When either of you hits an ad break, the other's video pauses and waits; when the ads end, you carry on together.

Same scene, even with different ads

Prime puts ads inside the video stream, so SyncCouch reads Prime's own player timeline to keep both of you on the same moment of the episode.

Next episode, together

When one of you moves on to the next episode — Next Episode button, Up Next, or auto-advance — the other follows to the same episode.

AI Show Recommendations (coming soon)

Coming soon in the next update: describe your mood together and get AI-powered Prime Video suggestions, filtered by what's available in your region.

What to know about Prime Video + SyncCouch

Prime Video puts its ads inside the main video stream rather than playing them in a separate player. That means the video's own clock includes ad time, so two people with different ads would sit at different clock positions on the very same scene. SyncCouch reads Prime's own player timeline instead, which keeps both of you on the same moment of the episode even when your ads differ. Each of you gets your own ads, and they can be different lengths: when either of you hits an ad break, the other's video pauses and waits, and when the ads end you carry on together, on the same scene. A few other things worth knowing: (1) SyncCouch runs on primevideo.com only — not Prime Video pages on Amazon's retail sites, the mobile or TV apps, or MX Player. (2) The autoplaying trailer on a title's detail page is a separate player that SyncCouch ignores. (3) When one of you moves on to the next episode — with the Next Episode button, Up Next, or auto-advance — the other follows to the same episode. (4) Each of you needs access to the title on your own account, and Prime Video's regional catalogs differ between India, the US, and Europe, so if you and your partner are in different countries, some titles may simply not be available to one of you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does SyncCouch sync Prime Video?

SyncCouch is a Chrome extension that runs on primevideo.com. Play, pause, seek, and playback speed sync both ways between you and your partner, and it follows Prime's own player timeline so ads that differ between you don't pull you apart. Each of you streams from your own account; nothing is shared or re-encoded.

Do both people need a Prime Video subscription?

Yes. Each of you needs your own Prime Video access to the title you're watching. SyncCouch syncs playback — it does not share or stream video content between accounts.

What happens during ads on Prime Video?

Each of you gets your own ads, and they can be different lengths. When either of you hits an ad break, the other's video pauses and waits; when the ads end, you carry on together on the same scene. Prime puts ads inside the video stream, and SyncCouch uses Prime's own player timeline to keep you on the same moment of the episode.

Does SyncCouch work with Prime Video on MX Player in India?

No. SyncCouch runs on the Prime Video website, primevideo.com, only. Prime Video pages on Amazon's retail sites, the mobile and TV apps, and MX Player are not supported. Both partners should watch on primevideo.com.

Can we watch Prime Video rentals and purchases together?

SyncCouch syncs whatever plays in the primevideo.com player. Each of you needs access to the title on your own account.

What about Prime Video regional catalog differences?

Prime Video's catalog varies by country — a film available in India may not be available in the US or UK, and vice versa. SyncCouch can only sync playback, not licensing. Check that both partners have the title available in their region before starting a room.

What happens when one of us goes to the next episode?

When one of you moves on to the next episode — with the Next Episode button, Up Next, or auto-advance — the other follows to the same episode.

Is SyncCouch free?

SyncCouch is free to use. Playback sync, text chat, voice chat, and emoji reactions are all free, and video chat is free and unlimited. AI recommendations are coming soon in the next update.

Does it work on Edge or Brave?

Yes. SyncCouch works on any Chromium-based browser including Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, and Vivaldi (version 116+). Firefox is not currently supported because SyncCouch uses Chrome extension APIs that Firefox implements differently — a Firefox build is on the roadmap.
