The idea is to provide tight integration between the people watching and the video being played.     This tight integration could involve mapping discussion threads to video clips, voting on how the video is to be played (e.g., pause, rewind, fast forward), etc.   You also need some way to allow people to find others with similar interests and to schedule a time for watching a video.   Finally, you can allow people watching to split off into separate groups to watch the same video in different ways. Merging separate groups that ended up doing similar things might be a good idea also.
