See TKD addendum section 6.8: Indirect objects. An indirect object may 
be indicated with the {-vaD} suffix.

jIHvaD muchmeyvam bejmoH [vay']
[something] causes me to watch these presentations

Since the indirect object appears explicitly, there is no need to 
indicate it with the verb prefix, so that can go back to agreeing with 
the direct object.

Always remember, though, that {-vaD} means "beneficiary," not "indirect 
object." An indirect object can usually be considered a beneficiary, but 
sometimes a beneficiary is not an indirect object. For instance, in 
{Qu'vaD lI' De'vam} "this information is useful for the mission," 
{Qu'vaD} is a beneficiary, but not an indirect object.
