No more jumping between YouTube vids if you’re watching live. You just come into one and hang out.

If you wanna watch KFGD on demand while the stream is live, you just have to rewind to the beginning.

If you wanna catch the Jabroni Boys after the stream has ended, you have to scrub past Games Daily.
