Why

Watching videos together with friends or family who are not in the same location can be challenging due to differences in internet speed and video loading times. A synchronized YouTube parties application would solve this problem by allowing users to watch videos together in real-time, synchronized across multiple devices. By providing features like video synchronization, chat, and playlist support, the application would enhance the experience of watching videos together, making it more interactive and engaging for users.
