> * Multitrack Input - Upload your transcodes instead of generating then server side. Give viewers multiple video tracks to see action from all sides.

I've always wanted this. Instead of the streamer switching video inputs we could select from the viewer-side which perspective we want. I've also thought about things like NASCAR partnering with Valve/Steam to use their Valve Index for 360-degree views from each car on the track. I don't know why they're not marking VR to people who love NASCAR, it'd be such an odd and likely successful niche. It'd be cool to accept-in multiple video inputs and even patch them together in realtime on the viewer side (unless they're specifically disparate).
