estream Studio’s current audio indicator does not provide enough information for users to identify an input signal that is too loud. Users with external microphones, mixers, or audio interfaces may only discover clipping after completing a recording or livestream. Proposed improvement Add a detailed audio input meter to the Studio setup and live-production interfaces, including: Clearly marked safe, caution, and clipping zones. Peak-level monitoring with dBFS values. A persistent visual warning when clipping is detected. A peak-hold indicator to make brief clipping events visible. Guidance explaining that gain must be reduced at the microphone, mixer, or audio interface when the incoming signal is already clipped. A pre-stream audio test that allows users to monitor and test levels before going live or recording. Manual input-gain control when technically supported by the selected audio device or browser.
