Movie Theater or Live Party Viewing Potential

This probably won’t get much attention and/or won’t be feasible either technologically or legally BUT:

My friends and I got quite disappointed when Mixer got sold to Facebook. We always talk about how we wish there was a feature we could use to stream a game or a show/movie to only the party members and be able to watch together. There’s so many times that we’re recording and sharing clips of games we play that it doesn’t capture the full context of the situation playing out and only captures the highlight. We wish there was more in the way of watching our friends game without them having to stream on twitch or a service that isn’t integrated into Xbox itself. It would be cool if we could game and also have a small pop up screen in a corner of the screen that party members choose that shows what our friend or friends are playing that streams to only members of their party, if that makes sense. Then we could all collectively discuss what’s going on during their gameplay without them having to pause, record clip, share clip, unpause and then continue playing. That process is extra difficult when playing online games where you can’t actually pause gameplay. I understand the movie or TV show is probably not doable but could we ever see features like these or an upgrade to the party system that would make a live viewing system possible for Xbox? It would be great for groups of players who love talking but may be playing different games and people who don’t want to leave their gameplay experience to go to an entirely different platform to watch their friend play. A lot of my friends would enjoy this because we’re not streamers. We can’t be the only ones. We’re not interested in being streamers just to show our friends what we’re playing and constantly taking clips not only affects cloud storage or console storage but also takes away from the overall experience of playing on Xbox with friends and your gameplay experience in general.

Let me your thoughts! I hope this is an idea Microsoft/Xbox can consider. Please be considerate, if its a stupid idea or suggestion provide your ideas on how it could be better rather than talk down on the post. Thanks so much.
