For me, it’s the DRM that’s killing streaming. If I can’t put it on Discord so my wife and I can watch it while hanging out online, I’ll just pick something else or find another way to watch it.

I mean, can't you use something like Teleparty to sync up streams in both your browsers? Then just voice chat in Discord.

Looks like that would work. Sucks to have to use an extra bit of machinery to restore a feature that they intentionally broke though. It’s like they view their customers as the enemy.
