Screen Share/Go Live Forces a Status?

DimeADozen

Whenever you set up 'Go Live' or Screen Sharing it forces a status onto your account. "Sharing their screen". Fortunately, this can be curbed by giving yourself a permanent status, but this shouldn't be forced onto the user base.

There should be an option to turn off the forced status, whether you're trying to hide with invisible or not.

Such a small and innocent element of Screen Sharing can become an unfortunate spark to bothersome occurrences due to the nature of the platform. The prime suspect being people seeking out individuals who wish to keep things on a more personal or private level.

    The screen sharing service also doesn't allow you to select most applications anymore, only screens.

    Users are currently given the ability to disable automatically showing their game as a status, but unable to hide this. Such a status informs all members of other servers that the user is in that they are 1) in actively in a voice channel and 2) actively sharing their screen thus implying their level of engagement and likelihood of playing a game.

    Please add option to disable this forced status, or at least limit the status to only display in the server in which the user is sharing their screen.
