Geostationary orbit is a special case of geosynchronous orbit. A geosynchronous orbit simply has the same 24 hour period as the Earth, however, it is inclined relative to the equator and traces out an ellipse in the sky as seen from the Earth. (Sorry they are incorrectly identified as the same in the video.) Thank you to Dan Burns @kilroi22 and Christopher Becke @BeckePhysics for the correction!\n
