I'd like to place a feature request to have status indicator lights added to the top bar that would provide a visual status to each stream. (see sample image). It would be great to have buttons where the 'stream' button is now that would represent the following [all, 1,2,3]. The COG and right-arrow can stay. Here's what I have in mind. The status lights would be colored to show they are configured and match a GREEN(good), Yellow(warning), or RED(failed) status. voiceovercity attached the following image(s): vMix_2018-08-14_142913.png (44kb) downloaded 3 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments.

Some discussion may be warranted...
Current vMix color protocol is Red means A-Okay (Stream, Record) or it means On (External, Playlist, etc).
While it makes sense that a "status" light indicate green for "good," it would go against the status quo.
But, +1 for the concept.

Personally, being colored blind, something other than 'red' and 'green' would be preferred. It is difficult telling the difference between them.

- Tom Agreed, It would confuse me! Perhaps Red for "ok", and yellow for "warning", and grey for "not streaming" to keep with traditional vmix colour protocol.

This is sort of off topic - but if you want an extra indictor you can get a blynclight ($40 usb indicator light) and run this python code in the background. It will light up green if its streaming.
