[Feature] Guest Star
Hi all,
Guest Star is a tool we're developing, which makes it easy, safe & fun for streamers to invite guests (viewers or other streamers) to join your stream. We have recently released an early version of the tool to a select group of streamers to help us shape the final product experience via testing the technology and providing feedback on the experience. To learn more about Guest Star, please visit our help article (https://link.twitch.tv/GuestStarFAQs); and for those with early access, please share your feedback on here on UserVoice!

Just tested Guest Star and here are some things that I would like to see:
- Guests to have the ability to share their screen as well
- Mic indicator (outline) to show who is talking -- this is shown on Guest Star but it does not translate to OBS to reflect it
- Allows guests to deafen
- Have guests be able to stream into their OBS as well (for co-op streams)
- Improved customizations for guest name (size, color, font, etc)
- Push to Talk -

We have just tested Guest Star.
Findings:
- Only works on Chrome browser, Edge and Firefox support would be great.
- Guest could not mute streamer [BUG?]
- Guest cannot integrate the streamer into OBS as browsersource -> This would be THAT feature and really nice for co-op streams.
- Guest name cannot be hidden. This can look ugly when cropping the OBS source. -

Also Push to Talk, and noise suppression would be helpful too

Big one for me before using this feature: remove any overlaying nametags etc from the guest video source so we can make our own custom ones!

Please make the UI features (selecting guests, inviting, muting, toggling mics, etc) available via API, potentially even have an RTMP endpoint available for the user to stream video and audio to.
This would allow to more easily use the feature for coordinated mixing of any content, not just webcam footage and microphone audio.Specifically, I am thinking of using this in a moderated "Marathon" Setting where the streamed-to channel is not always accessible for all moderators, but the aforementioned APIs would allow moderators to use a community-made tool to easily manage the visible content on the shared stream.
Additionally, getting Guest Star "change" Events via EventSub could allow easier integration of stream layouts to react to changes in Guest Stars joining or leaving, or adding additional indicators on the layout.

It would be nice to implement this tool on some other browsers. I wanted to try it out but since I use Microsoft Edge I couldn't use it! :(
Please make it compatible to some other browsers! :)
