Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Watching photos and recordings remotely, together. This could be useful for:

  • presentations (Keynote can export to H.264 at least on macOS)
  • watch self-made recordings and movies (i.e. from a holiday) together with family and friends

Describe the solution you'd like
Apple provides an API that takes care of synchronizing content playback across devices. The integration looked relatively simple to achieve in the State Of The Union.

Apple's developer site on SharePlay: https://developer.apple.com/shareplay/
