Discussion
CST+ looks genuinely useful — the Live Streaming space needed this. qq: does it scale cleanly for bigger teams, or is there a performance hit to watch out for? Congrats on shipping 👏
@vikram great question — it stays light even on large workspaces; nothing extra to configure. Appreciate you checking it out!
@norppa great to know, appreciate the transparency 🙌
The Video & Audio Tools angle is the part that got me — feels way cleaner than what's out there. For an existing setup, how granular can you get about what you expose? Congrats on shipping.
@sanjay thank you! you can scope it as tightly as you want — per project, per workspace, your call.
