Yeah, we’re working on a “streaming mode” for exactly this — in that mode, only a few participants will be able to publish streams, and only they will have join/disconnect events broadcast as well. We’ll make an announcement when it’s ready! In the meantime, let us know if you run in to any scaling issues

Would "hidden participants" work for this use case?

yeah! that would work as well. 'hidden' participants can see the broadcaster, but their state is not shared with others. Here's what we are thinking for the livestream mode, if you are interested in looking at the protocol. The gist of it is: • Denote AppMode to

Livestream

during CreateRoom • Up to 25 publishers • Unlimited viewers • Publishers updates are sent to everyone • Viewer updates are not sent • ListParticipants would still return everyone in the room, including viewers. It'll be possible to paginate folks in the room

That all sounds good to me! We have just the one broadcaster at the moment, maybe two or three in future, so well within the limits there. Will keep an ear to the ground for any announcements!
