"Prime watch parties," as they are referred to, are when streamers can stream movies or TV shows from Prime Video that are synced across viewers' devices. As Twitch is an Amazon-owned platform, special integrations between it and Prime Video facilitate this.
xQc began texting Pokelawls on Discord regarding Prime watch parties. When his chat asked him what it was about, he said there was a reason he "literally can't say." He then added that most viewers in the EU couldn't watch the movies streamed, assumingly due to copyright issues. Poke continued:
"Bro, it's so awkward going to a watch party and just watching the streamer when you can't watch the movie. So weird. It's so weird that you can watch the streamer when they're watching a watch party fullscreen (without the movie)."
xQc agreed, voicing his opinion that people who don't have Prime should not be able to watch the stream, as they would be greeted by an odd sight. He then began to imitate exactly what they would see:
In the background, Poke could be heard laughing uncontrollably at Felix's imitation. His chat began laughing as well, both at the absurdity of his actions and at how accurately xQc presented his demonstration.
