The New "Go live" Screen Share Feature Issues

Go Live has removed several quality of life features that the previous screenshare version provided. There is no volume adjustment option for Go Live streamer side. It now requires you to adjust your own source volume to mute your stream audio, unless you tell everyone else to mute it on their end. I have yet to find a way to stream my desktop which was very useful for troubleshooting and working with friends. Lastly, to share software, you must now add it as a "game" in the game activity section as opposed to just selecting which window you want to stream. There have been some positive changes I will admit. You can now opt in to a stream rather than being forced to view it and hear it. The ability to not view the preview is a great relief to my computers resources. The stability seems to have improved for certain applications and video players as well. With a few tweaks I think Go Live can be an amazing update, so please consider my feedback. Thank You.

Update: You also can't stream while viewing someone's stream, which was useful for troubleshooting and working on projects with others.
