I've never tried co-watch. Can you enlighten me with your past experience with that? Presumably, it's great for watching live events. For watching a TV or movies, how would that be practical? Can you only watch together with your friends or you can do that with random people?

Why would you want to do it with random people?
My family does a sort of "ghetto co-watching" all the time, where they'll phone somebody up and say, "Hey, want to watch Foo? OK, start it playing … now!" I know lots of people who do that sort of thing. That's who co-watching is for — people who want to watch something together but not necessarily make a trip to somebody's house.

My SO and I would do that fairly constantly with a few TV shows when I was living across the country. Making that trip every week for an hour of TV and talking was getting expensive :)
