Is there any special consideration/feature to help prevent streamers from sharing secrets (keys, tokens, pw, etc)? Sharing secrets is easily done by accident and can go unnoticed by the streamer.

Hmmm this is not currently something we have any special feature to address currently, except that if you realise you have shown the world a password or credit card details ( it has happened!) they the best thing to do is stop the stream and delete the video immediately. We are currently exploring other ways we can help prevent this.

  Letting people have a 30-60 second delay in the stream might help a lot in being able to go and remove it before damage has been done. aside from that I don't have any ideas myself

    Hmmmm not a bad idea, though that would put some friction in the interactive nature of it, which is really important to us. We haven't had a lot of problems with people showing passwords etc so far as people either 1. have two screens or 2. just use window capture to avoid showing something they don't want to.

      window capture sounds like a pretty good suggestion for the time being. It'll at least mitigate what can be revealed. It wouldn't work for everything but there's definitely a balance to be found I bet. The delay is essentially how traditional broadcasters manage it (with a shorter delay since there's someone monitoring it separately) so it might still work out for this.

  > the best thing to do is stop the stream and delete the video immediately Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree. The best thing you could do is immediately revoke API keys, change passwords, cancel credit card, etc. I guess you should probably delete the stream too, but if you do these things it's not as important. If you have anything up on the Internet for any amount of time, you might as well assume that it will be up forever. Someone (or more likely some bot) could have already downloaded it and be mirroring it.

    Yeah you can do that too ;) To be honest, haven't really had this be a massive issue up to this point, it has happened a couple of times, but not very often.
