What is the significance of the Watch Party during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic? 

The Watch Party feature of the Amazon Prime Video is essentially useful during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. To contain the infection, cinema halls are either shut down or are operating with limited staff and audience. The Watch Part ensures that the thrill of watching movies or TV shows with friends is not compromised. Now, you can watch along with your friends and chat without coming in contact with anyone.
