Gave it a try. Some feedback:

Signed up then landed on the main screen, but wasn't instantly sure what to do there. Then I clicked the +, searched, and added a couple of videos that immediately started playing, but they were obscured by the "Add Videos" window, and no "Close" or "Hide" link anywhere. Clicking off to the side hid the window.

At that point, it was me watching a queue of youtube videos alone. I could share the room, but there was no interaction possible with the other client I had in the room.

Also, the second client I had started the video from 0:00 vs where I was at. While it would probably be too complex to make it exactly sync'd, starting a newly joined user at approximately the same place in the currently playing song as the others would help.

There was no way to change the size of the video. Since there was no social interaction, I thought I'd just watch my queue full screen, but that wasn't possible.

Keep at it!

Thx for the feedback, a lot of the stuff you mentioned are definite problems. Many people have mentioned not really being sure on what to do on the site. As for the syncing, everything is synced within reason (the app accounts for a 10 second buffer delay, in which case it resyncs, otherwise it tolerates the delay).
