**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**  
User’s want to use our app’s functionality with a live stream of their meetings. The “official” option for this to use the RTMP stream of a meeting. However, the RTMP stream displays a _large_ `LIVE` indicator in the upper right hand corner and also triggers a popup indicator underneath it. This is quite intrusive to the meeting experience. For one, the `LIVE` label is a misnomer: we are not broadcasting the stream for public viewing. Additionally, the popup is redundant and requires a user to click to hide it.

**Describe the solution you’d like**

1. Remove the popup.
2. Allow us to modify the text of the RTMP indicator from `LIVE` to `REC` (for example) to correctly communicate to participants what is happening.

**Describe alternatives you’ve considered**  
Remove the live indicator altogether since it is redundant with the Recording indicator.

**Additional context**  
We’ve had users complain that their meeting participants are worried about the blaring `LIVE` indicator means the meeting is being streamed live to YouTube.
