Given that WHEP isn’t signed off yet - we should raise that and see what the group says.

We have situations where we have a group of viewers watching an event on a big screen or smart tv.
They aren’t participants in the discussion - but they do want to see/hear the panel (say), or see the view from a car mounted camera.
I think these are different use cases though because the 1st one needs to display multiple streams but the second is almost certainly a single stream.
