Streaming Splash Screen

Although maybe not completely necessary, it seems that a number of “good” Twitch/Mixer live stream channels use “starting soon” or “be right back” screens. These can help viewers know that the stream is running, but there’s some behind-the-scenes stuff that’s being dealt with. One…
