[Suggestion] Thank you for the cool streaming options in Nitro, but voice channel requirements for streamer + viewer is awkward

Hey Discord team, hope you guys are having a fantastic year.

I wanted to share some feedback on the new streaming system included in Nitro. The quality is beautiful, we're really impressed with how responsive it is too. The thing i don't like however is the voice channel requirements.

I don't think people should be forced to join the voice channel, streamer or viewer. Because you can only be in one voice channel at a time, this forces people to choose between speaking with their friends (possibly on another server) or silently watching someone stream on discord. This would only get worst with larger servers (i'm imagining 40+ people in a voice channel with one streamer).

eg. "Hey, Brian is streaming over in [SERVER 2], do you wanna go watch him? We have to leave voice and mute our mics though, he's playing [literally any game that you don't want other people talking during]".
