Amazon Music

The Amazon Music extension gives streamers who are Prime members or Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers the ability to share music with their viewers who are also Prime members or Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers during their live Twitch streams through the extension. With the extension, you become the DJ and your eligible viewers will receive music playback that you control. The extension allows you to invite Amazon Music users to listen along without worrying about copyright takedowns or muted sections of your VOD, which may occur if you play music on your stream over the broadcast. In addition, you'll be able to earn money when viewers sign up for Amazon Music Unlimited, Amazon's premium on-demand music subscription service.
