Suggestion to improve privacy of people in public voice channels
Hello from Bulgaria, dear Discord users and developers.
I've been using the Discord app daily for about 6 months now and there is something that bothers me a bit, while I'm in an public voice chat channel in any of my friends' Discord servers. Anyone can be in such a voice channel and may stream on any of the available platforms (twitch/youtube/facebook/mixer/etc.), and there is no way for anyone else in the given voice channel to know if that is happening, and that their conversations can be heard openly on the Internet.
My suggestion is to add some type of check, using a bot or something internal in the Discord app itself, that sniffs if any users in an open voice channel are streaming somewhere, maybe by using some type of tokens, and send a message to the rest of the people in the voice, so they would know they're "on air".
It would be nice, if there's an option for example for the MEE6 bot, who most people use as an announcer for their streams, when the bot "sees" that someone starts a stream and is in a voice channel, to be able to move the streamer to a pre-defined custom "on air" channel (something like the AFK channel) which would be a reminder to people who enter it, that someone there is streaming, and that they will be heard by viewers on another "external" platform.
I hope my explanation is straight forward enough :).
All the best,
