Add an Option to Make Live Streams Viewable Only to Followers
I would like to suggest a feature that allows streamers to make their live broadcasts visible only to users who follow the channel.
This would serve multiple purposes, including:
Preventing stream sniping, especially in games like Fall Guys, where some viewers intentionally join the game just to interfere (e.g., grabbing or chasing the streamer to make them lose).
Blocking access to non-followers or anonymous viewers, who might not be part of the community or who just lurk without supporting the stream.
Protecting content from being recorded without the streamer's consent, as some users watch purely to capture or misuse content.
An additional option to hide the stream from non-logged-in users would be even more effective.
This feature would give streamers more control over their content, reduce harassment and trolling, and reward those who choose to support the channel by following.
Thank you for considering this!
