I am not trying to derail the conversation, but I just have to comment on the product you listed.
I am clearly not the target market (I think?), but that marketing video on their home page “describing” what this is, has to be one of the worst marketing videos I have ever seen. I watched it and still have no idea what it does. I am guessing it allows you to switch the app that you are streaming? I give up…

EDIT: I am getting downvoted but I am going to leave this up. I am really not trying to be overly negative, but I feel like this is a missed opportunity for a company that has clearly created something creative that appeals to a certain market niche.
I know that sometimes it is hard for someone that is passionate about their product and wants to create good marketing material, but has a hard time describing things to those “outside” their circle. Hopefully they see this feedback and can use it to further expand their product’s reach.

Things like reconfigure your screen share, change the audio input levels and source, anything that you can imagine a television producer might want to do for their broadcast. It presents an array of hardware buttons with small displays in them to let you do all of that easily in a live broadcast environment.
