Ooo, I just made a prototype of a new feature that I think will be cool... GoTeamTV.

uh oh.... this sounds interesting.

Basically, it looks for any Youtube videos in your feed and turns them into a player that just plays sequentially, like a playlist created by your team.

hrm... interesting.

I think what I will have it do is first show a quick preview of what is coming... something like "There are 7 new videos from your team: Blah from Carlo, Foo from Jeepster" and that'll show for a few seconds while something pretty happens and the first video buffers. Then, it'll just start playing, or play when you click the play button.

And just keep playing.

Maybe if there aren't enough new videos, it will go into RERUN MODE and just pull things randomly from the archive.

My Blah video is awesome, BTW.

Dear Ben Brown,
I adore GTI.
Thanks,

I want the team-curated lean-back video watching experience.

as long as i can put bad electronica on it, i'm happy.

Danny, you wouldn't know anything about that at all.

benbrown said, (111 days ago)

No, it would definitely not autoplay on the team feed page.

Here is the prototype. This just pulls from my personal team. But you can just sit and watch and watch and watch.

Oh my god this is going to be great.

any chance you can blacklist particular videos? Assuming one of your teammates decides to link a string of annoying clips or perhaps a number of long diatribes that you may not want to show up in reruns?

Good idea. Maybe I'll put the thumbs to use, Tivo-style. Oh god, don't sue me, Tivo!
