What I am proposing should be a relatively simple addition. All I would like to see is just some small, transparent text in your field of view, off to the side, that tells the host of the room whether or not they have "stream my screen " enabled or not. This would be immensely helpful for literally anyone who hosts rooms as often times when you first start up a room and someone joins (before anyone else has,) the stream my screen box will become unchecked and you'll have to turn it back on again. This can be really frustrating because often times you might be watching something or gaming and you might not be aware that someone has joined the room or that the streaming has been turned off. Since I suspect the root of the problem won't be addressed anytime soon, which is the issue of streaming turning itself off whenever someone joins the hosts' empty room (which makes them think nothing is playing so they leave within an instant, in my experience) at the very LEAST there should be an indicator that tells is whether we have streaming enabled or not. PLEASE!

Just came here ro finally report/support this, because for the millionth time... I sat here shouting/talking over my movie, trying to figure out why my friends were just chatting away. I was the only one watching it. Had no idea the streaming box unchecked. 🤦‍♀️ They were just being polite and thought I was still setting up and didn't want to say anything. I watched 20 minutes without knowing I was the only one who could see it. An indicator light or even a PIP menu screen to say "this is what your attendees see."

How about when it disconnects from your room it has a pop up notification rather than just the ding

I'd actually like to go a bit further and suggest that BS save all your settings when you close down so when you relaunch, it would load your latest config settings from that backup. But I like your idea too.
