This blew my mind, it's such a different experience. Currently watching the music channel (8, The Lumineers - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)).

Since the author is reading here, one feature request: Please put a volume slider on it and also make a mouse wheel scroll on any part of the page change the volume.

I think it's the lack of timeshift which triggers me so much, since it's a somewhat standard feature on TVs. No way to pause makes me a bit anxious. I have a bad habit of nesting YT videos, where I pause one, watch another, pause that one, watch another, when it finishes I go back to the previously paused one and so on until I end up watching the first video to the end.

Theoretically you could add a per-client timeshift feature.

If you really like a video and want to watch it later, it displayed the video ID.

I really like the no pausing / everyone being in sync aspect, it's maybe the best feature

  • Why not add a link to the video instead of just the id?

    • Because you want it to be a hurdle. The hurdle nudges you to not go to the YouTube experience and stay in the YouTube tv experience. So to the creator: the way you did it now is perfect!
