• provide, for display on a second participant device within the co-watching session, a second consolidated live video stream depicting a second arrangement of live video streams from the participant devices within the co-watching session and a second digital media player interface to present a second stream of the third-party co-watching digital video content;
• receive, from a participant device among the participant devices within the co-watching session, a selection from a third-party database of a third-party co-watching digital video content item for the co-watching session;
• and
• based on the selection, synchronize playback of the third-party co-watching digital video content item within the first digital media player interface at the first participant device and the second digital media player interface at the second participant device without identifying the third-party co-watching digital video content item.
