Are those livestreams or videos? They seem like videos but if they would be livestreams it would be cool if you could speak to a livestream and then it would speech to text type it in the streamer's chatbox.

These are just youtube videos but they are synced so everyone is watching the same thing at the same time.

I like UIs like this when just one thing is in the focus....I think few years ago here on HN someone did something like this but for Twitch; where you could switch back and forth between live streamers which had only 1 viewer. This format is definitely good for fast and easy discovery.

This is what makes the experience for me. You can tell someone "check out channel 12" and you'll both be watching the same thing just like we used to do.
