Pop up on streams to provide flash warnings
Many streams have fun aspects such as alerts or scenes to celebrate events. Such as flashing lights or strobes like a rave to celebrate.
Or other music streams center their whole channel around these rave type imagery.
Flashing lights and colors is one of the biggest trigger for seizures for those with epilepsy.
I propose giving streamers a feature just like “flag this channel as mature content” they can “flag this channel as containing flashing imagery” or something of the effect where just as when you enter a mature stream a pop up shows stating
“This stream has flashing lights or colors that could show up with or without warning”
This way people watching are aware of the potential of a flashing light trigger.

Some of the games I stream have flashing lights that appear without warning. I would like to be able to warn viewers that this is a possibility before they watch the stream. While I can put up a message at the start and randomly through the stream there will be viewers that miss or ignore such a warning. Having it appear like the mature content warning for anyone joining would help prevent that.
