I would like to fetch livestream engagement analytics in realtime

As a streamer, I want to be able to start my stream before "going live". This can help me gain confidence in my setup. This can be implemented in the application by hiding the stream from users until the user clicks on "go live". But currently, if recording is on, the footage of the stream prior to "going live" is also recorded. This can be solve by allowing a non-recorded stream to start recording in the middle of the stream. Note, it probably doesn't make sense to stop recording in the middle of a stream.

As a user of the transcoding API, I would like to pick a CRF instead of picking bitrate to represent my desired quality. This is often times a better choice for VoD.

Youtube allows creators to "add cards" at a specific time of the video. This is really powerful, allows more dynamic interactions on the video. Livepeer should allow that, especially for things like doing onchain transactions.

Right now, Livepeer Studio only allows one user per account. We'd like to add multiple users to help manage our account rather than sharing a password. In the future, we expect to want different users to have different permissions (e.g., not everyone should have access to billing)

As a streamer, I would like the ability to record a livestream during an active session.

As a viewer of a livestream, I would like the stream to provide close captions.

As a filmmaker, having the ability to add subtitles is key to my videos. The majority of all videos are English and I would like to distribute my videos to different countries.
