Twitch already supports multiple audio tracks — most commonly:

Track 1: Livestream audio (includes music, alerts, etc.)

Track 2: VOD-safe audio (no copyrighted music)

However, when a streamer (USER1) visits another live channel (USER2) while streaming, Twitch automatically plays Track 1, which may include copyrighted music. This puts the viewer-streamer at risk of unintentional DMCA violations.

✅ Feature Proposal:
Let viewers choose which audio track to hear via a toggle or dropdown in the player.

Automatically default to VOD-safe audio (Track 2) if the viewer is currently streaming, to avoid DMCA risk.

Add a user setting to always prefer the VOD-safe track when live.

🎯 Why It Matters:
Prevents accidental DMCA takedowns for streamers watching other streams live.

Empowers all viewers to choose their preferred audio experience.

Encourages broader adoption of Twitch’s multi-audio track system.

💡 Bonus Ideas:
Show a visual "🎧 VOD-safe" tag in the video player when on Track 2.

Add metadata or an OBS setting to automatically flag the viewer as a streamer.

Twitch already has the tech for this. Making audio track selection accessible would be a big win for creators and viewers alike.
