Not a fan of the lack of volume controls
We're still figuring out which direction to go one several features. We disabled the controls bar (incl. vol) so each channel feels more like a live stream where you can't pause/skip through the video. However, you can still use the keyboard to control volume (up/down keys) But we're going to give it try: we've re-enabled the control bar. Thanks for the feedback
The concept is neat, had a chance to view briefly. Can you comment on any 'gatekeeping' type considerations for age/region/content in regards to either the videos being broadcast and/or the comments being written? In an ideal world I wouldn't be asking such things, but in context of the internet at large, I think it'd be neat to hear your perspective(s) and potential avenues to address them.

However, since videos are sourced from platforms like YouTube and Vimeo, they may impose their own restrictions such as unavailability in certain regions. We've started adding more video platforms to ensure there's content available for all regions.
Can this be used for broadcasting small events live to people who couldn't attend physically? Although I'm not sure realtime chat will be of much use there.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Be very careful about adding/removing features based on one comment in a forum.
Do you think that youtube will provide enough engaging content for people to start getting into the platform? How could you go about getting 'real' popular content onto the platform, and if this works how can you compete with Twitch?
This sounds really fun - obviously Twitch's Bob Ross stream was an incredible experience.

- Absolutely. As the largest video platform, there's a ton of great content produced on YouTube everyday. Not to mention, a growing number of legally available shows (including Bob Ross!) on YT. YT is also just a starting point.
- We're working with several notable YT creators to bring them in as partners. In comparison to Twitch, we're focused on pre-existing content that can be watched as live channels.
