Prime Video watch party
Watch Prime Video with friends in other places, at the same moment. Ads included: when someone reaches an ad break, the party waits for them.
TellyJam is coming to the Chrome Web Store soon.
Tested live on Prime Video in Chrome, on a plan with ads. Steady sync stayed around 20 milliseconds, with no stray pauses, including around ads.

Ads, handled
Prime Video puts ads inside the video itself, so each person’s player clock includes the ads they saw. TellyJam keeps track of every break and syncs on the show’s own time. People with ads, with different ads or with no ads stay on the same scene, and the party waits while anyone is in an ad. How TellyJam handles ads.
