providing a central server connected to a network and configured to be connected to a plurality of client computer terminals through the network, each of the plurality of client computer terminals adapted to stream a video from the network; streaming the video on the plurality of client computer terminals, the video being viewed by a first user and at least one second user, the first user and the at least one second user independently receiving streaming video on separate client computer terminals, wherein the streaming to the first user and the at least one second user occurs synchronously such that a playback timing of the streaming video occurs at the same time on all users' client computer terminals; capturing commentary of the first user and the at least one second user with a commentary capturing device, the capturing being performed while the first user and the at least one second user view the video; and playing back the commentary of the first user on the client computer terminal of the at least one second user and/or vice versa, while streaming the video.
