Discord has started implementing the ‘Watch Together’ feature that will allow users to watch content on YouTube together.
Watching Together – Discord and YouTube come together
Some time ago, Google started fighting bots that allowed Discord users to listen to YouTube music without having to wade through ads. To mitigate these effects, Discord introduces a new feature that brings YouTube back together, but now with ads. The possibility of joint viewing has appeared on selected servers.

All you need to do is paste a YouTube link in the right place and every member of the server will be able to watch it. YouTube video links can be added to a playlist, and media controls can be shared with others in the session. This distinguishes the new functionality from regular screen sharing. Discord is ensuring that the option will soon be made available to all users, on all servers. This is to happen by the end of October.
