What do I do when watching a video of someone praying?

I always wonder this as well, when I watch sermons online. I believe that God sees our hearts, and He can see that we are willing to pray in agreement. So is it going to offend God or be unappreciated by Him? NO! I think that God is happy just to know that we have faith and we are making an effort to live out our faiths.
If you're the only person in the room praying along, it may cause some people to look at you funny, but what they think doesn't matter. They're not God.
I hope that this helps. God bless you.

I've wondered the same myself, especially during times when I'm watching a video of someone praying. However, technology allows people to communicate through Skype for instance. Which leads me to the belief that the spirit of unity and agreement is still legit. It may not be face to face, but it still matters, and there is still unity in that.
For example, Paul in his letters mentions praying for the different churches he is writing to all the time.
“...God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers” (Rom. 1:9, NKJV).
Even though it isn't in person, there is still unity in his prayer with the church in Rome. And there was quite a delay from Paul sending the letter to the recipients actually getting it.
So in my opinion, it doesn't matter if it's a live stream, delayed video, or whatever other thing you can think of. Prayer is conversing to God, and it doesn't matter if it's prerecorded or not.
