Do you enjoy watching live streaming on Twitch or YouTube? There are many streamers hosting watch party. However, it is illegal to share the OTT screen itself! Due to copyright issues, many streamers display their sync location for watch together.(like the image above -15:27)

Team Screena is testing ‘Timer’ widget

Viewers can see a “timer” on the streamer’s screen and sync at the same time. But here’s the catch!

You can’t stop…!

That’s right, it gets very hard to stop the movie. After one episode, you have to set the timer again. Even if you want to do a reaction or a subplot, you might miss something important scene.

Of course, the inconvenience is very short-lived, and you can still watch this way. But what if a bunch of streamers and viewers are watching a movie every time, shouting “one, two, three” in chat, and it’s still out of sync and frustrating?

Maybe we can try something…

And we thought….
“What if… a streamer tried this?”
