This issue has recently resurfaced in Japan, and some users are even saying, "If you don't want to be streamed, don't come to public instances in the first place." It is impossible to avoid users who are already streaming in advance, and we believe that user streaming status alone cannot provide protection.

For instance,During streaming status, a logo and copyright notice will be displayed on the screen to prove that the streaming is legitimate.

Regular users have the option to allow or disallow streaming, and those who set their status to disallow streaming should not be visible to users with streaming status (or should be masked or muted).

Of course, I do not believe this will prevent everything.

I hope you will take into account that some users do not want to see more easy streamers.

I believe the risk for harassment is much larger towards the common user being recorded or streamed without their consent, rather than the streamer. I know concern about being unknowingly recorded is stopping people from going to places they would like to go otherwise.

If you're streaming somewhere where you run the risk of being harassed, maybe you should be streaming from elsewhere... In particular if that harassment is not just kids being edgy, but maybe people that don't want to be recorded (OTOH the proper conduct in this case would be to just leave when you see someone is recording or streaming).

Just my 2 cents. (And personally, I certainly don't really mind appearing in streams myself, especially if I have prior or situational knowledge of this fact)

Would love this function but again this gonna cause griefers/crashers/harrassment agianst streamers

A good compromise for the people that don't want to be targeted would be for the "streaming" status to be only view-able in every world type except public, so that if someone is in a public world no one can really see if they are streaming, and people that want to be in a large instance with friends in a friends+ world can still feel safe. Though I feel is someone really wanted to target a streamer they would just go to the stream and figure out a way to the world somehow.

Also, I'm sure people would like a "Hide users in Streaming Mode" as an option as well. Lots of people are uncomfortable being recorded/streamed.

Well i think this status should only be visible for friends only and not on any other public as it will risk streamer and all thier friends they are with.

while yes, this is good way to tell people that there is streamer around, it is unfortunately true that there is bad people that will use this feature to target specifically streamers, and with that also innocent people who just happen to be in area can get hit by scriptkids and crashers.

also add lewding to the list

This can be good or bad. Yes it should be common curtesy in a public world to let people know they're on stream, on the other hand it's like you're putting a big red crosshair on yourself to attract all kinds of nasty people trying to be "funny" or "edgy" or just plain crash you cause you're streaming.

This is a very Fine Implemention, u get a thumbs up.
