I think it would be neat if there was a “Ready Check” button when using the Watch Together feature. Basically, just a visual way to confirm that everyone is ready to start/resume for the cases where people aren’t using a voice chat or something at the same time.
A ready check button would be ideal, especially as the host. I would prefer everyone was joined first, and then communicating over voice chat before commencing the playback, as opposed to automatically playing when the last person joins.
As noted in our previous announcement, our existing Watch Together functionality will not be included in our new experience apps on launch, which are currently in preview and will be released broadly in the future.
As such, we’re closing related feature suggestions in order to give back those votes, so that you can vote for something else.
We do not preclude the possibility of offering similar functionality again in the future, as we also noted in our announcement. Should that happen, then feature suggestions like this one and others would certainly be considered during that development.
A new suggestion related to adding Watch Together to our new experience apps has already been raised and you’re welcome to comment or vote on that suggestion.
