Why can't you control it?? That's the only thing holding it back from being just like Shareplay.

You on?? Want to try it?

I'm in the beta update. Idk if it was updated already but I usually see updates all the time when I start it up.

Edit: Yeah I see the broadcast settings.

This is so fukking dope. It's all done through overlay so you can still broadcast non Steam games as long as overlay is working.
