Could you build this?
Partial Room creation, text chat and WebRTC voice are vibe-codeable, but synchronized playback across third-party streaming services depends on provider-specific DRM and player access that a solo builder cannot reliably replicate.
What it would actually take: The room and chat layer is standard realtime (WebSocket or WebRTC with a signaling server) with a browser extension or player hooks to sync play, pause and seek. The hard part is the streaming providers: each has DRM and terms-of-service constraints, and sync drifts with network latency, so you need an engineer experienced in media playback, realtime sync and provider-specific integration.
