Rejected Make Groupwatch ( and other room-related ) Features enabled for all Rooms

Hi ! The other day, I wanted to do a pokemon OST blindtest on the arcade room, so I searched a way to display sounds, or youtube video directly on Showdown without having to click on a link ( we already have a game "pokecries" made by panur that could do that so I tought it won't be difficult ).
But I discovered with the help of thewaffleman that you can use a "Groupwatch" to do this, but this feature is only enabled for the youtube room.
Actually i don't know why this feature is specific for youtube, but it completely stop creativity and variety in other rooms.

On a overall note, there are some other features like the Mastermind game that are specific to a room. While I recognize they may not as useful compared to Youtube videos, it still a shame that most of rooms can't use these commands; devs have spend time on these commends, but only few people can effectively use these.
Thanks for reading and as always, s/o LBDC for correction

Hiya! I maintain the Youtube room plugin (and created groupwatch).
I've said this before in suggestions, but groupwatch for all rooms is a no because of the resources it consumes from youtube.
(We do, however, have support for !show showing videos like groupwatch does. Actually, /show did that for a while for everyone, but i removed the capability because it violated youtube ToS. I will restore that capability once i can figure out a way to make it do not violate ToS.)
Rejecting this.

Mastermind is restricted to the Trivia room because it pulls from the Trivia question database.
