Check if a certain SteamID is viewing stream
If you are a game streamer, one problem that you face is stream snipers. They watch the stream and then try to find your server, interact with you and / or try sabotage the gameplay. This is a large problem and should be minimized as far as possible.
At this moment of time you can link certain accounts to Twitch. One of the accounts you can link is Steam, so that viewers can earn twitch drops.
Since in some games, for example Rust, you can easily find out the steamID of the stream ******, I think it would be a great feature if a streamer or moderator can check if a viewer's account is linked to a certain Steam account or alternatively outright ban any accounts from watching the stream associated with that steamID. This will allow a streamer or moderator to quickly ban such stream snipers from watching the stream.
SteamID is one account type that could be checked and I think that the other types of accounts should also be able to be checked: Blizzard Battle.net, Riot Games & Ubisoft.

Not sure why the word 'Sn*per' above was censored, but oh well.
