What was Prime Video Watch Party?
Prime Video Watch Party was a feature on Amazon Prime Video that allowed users to stream Prime Video (PV) content and keep it in sync across devices and across different accounts. During Covid, this allowed family and friends to stay connected and watch synchronized content together while also letting users chat with each other.
Why this features matters to me
I was on the Watch Party team as an Intern for 3 months and for 1 year when I joined as a full time L4 dev at Amazon. I worked on Living Room, Mobile Apps, and a bit of the Prime Video Website. It was an incredible experience and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to have worked on Watch Party and for the incredible coworkers that helped me level up as a developer. I learned so many valuable life and engineering lessons from my coworkers and I don’t think I’d be where I am today without the experience I had on the Watch Party team.
