Latency ... when starting recording

what I have found is that sometimes I start recording and it says broadcast starting but it is actually recording so could we have a countdown so we know the exact moment it starts to record so we are not there picking our nose :)

Okay, we've added some improvements here to the start-up sequence. We've managed to reduce the go live time from around 20 seconds to about 7.5 seconds, and we also now show a loading spinner / overlay to make it clear when it's starting up. Unfortunately it's not possible to have a countdown, as it's not possible to know exactly to the second when the recording will start. Hopefully, what we put in place will make everything a lot more visible though.

Yeah, great point. I think this could be improved. Leave with me, and I'll see what we can rustle up.

cheers as I am either looking at the screen waiting to start - and it has already started broadcasting, or I am having my spanish ham sambo with bravas ... :)
