Description

I got to use GNOME's video application for the first time today while testing Pop!OS and chanced upon the "channels" view, which lets you stream from YouTube, Vimeo, and a handful of other channels.

I believe this feature would make the elementary Videos application significantly more useful as the primary way most people consume video content is through streaming. It would also fit in with elementary's philosophy of interacting with specific content through a native app designed for it, rather than through the filesystem or the browser.
