Facebook's Portal lets you video chat handsfree with your Facebook friends. The company recently released new devices in the lineup with even more features. If you don't want an 8-inch or 10-inch countertop display, you can mount a smaller version without a built-in display on top of your TV. A new feature that's sure to be popular is that you can co-watch videos with another user over Amazon Prime.
Ways to use the Facebook Portal Device
The countertop Portal device and the new Portal TV reportedly have clear pictures and easy-to-use interfaces. To watch a movie with a friend, you initiate a video call and launch the Amazon Prime Video. The Portal TV syncs up the video for both parties and makes sure everybody can talk along while watching. The technology is similar to Togethr TV or the Chrome plug-in Netflix Party.
When used for video calling, Portal has fun face filters and a smart camera that seamlessly tracks where you are and moves to keep you in frame. When you're not on a call, Portal displays birthday reminders, weather updates, and photos from your Facebook account. The devices now have fully integrated Alexa functionality so you can control smart home devices like your thermostat or doorbell, or play music from your favorite streaming service.

The concept of online watch parties was always appealing, but once the coronavirus pandemic forced us all indoors, their utility became far more obvious. Gathering with your friends or family involves a certain degree of risk, no matter where you live, but with an online watch party, you don't have to worry about whether or not anyone is infected. Tests for Watch Parties started last October, but now everyone has access to the feature.
Unsurprisingly, Watch Parties on Twitch — which is owned by Amazon — only support Amazon Prime Video content. So if you want to watch Netflix or Hulu with your friends, you're going to need a different app. That said, this feature is built directly into the Twitch platform, which means it should be relatively easy to use.
If you want to host a Watch Party on Twitch for fans or friends or strangers, here are the steps you need to take:
- Add the Watch Parties Quick Action to your Stream Manager on Twitch
- Connect Watch Parties to your Amazon Prime or Prime Video account
- Choose the Prime Video movie or TV show you want to watch
- Go live with your webcam and microphone
- Click 'Start Watch Party' to begin
Twitch was once dominated by gaming streams, but as the platform has expanded its reach, the variety of creators on the platform has grown as well. Some play games on stream, but others just want to interact with the community while drawing, working on cosplay, or bingeing The Boys. Speaking of which, the launch of Watch Parties could not have come at a better time, with The Boys season 2 debuting on Prime Video this Friday.
Apps To Watch Amazon Prime With Friends
In case we didn't make this clear above, everyone that takes part in a Watch Party, from the viewers to the streamers, needs to have an active Amazon Prime or Prime Video account. If you try to join a Watch Party stream on Twitch, you will be prompted to log in to your Amazon account to authorize your device. It's also worth noting that Watch Parties are only available on desktop, but mobile viewing should roll out in the coming months.
