Streamer Mode#742

Issue: When I stream the game, I have an issue if I am playing with a viewer that they can see my cards and my hidden areas.

Solution: Provide a menu option where you can enable streamer mode. This would run a second window as a spectator. This would allow me to stream THAT window, but not my main window with the secret info.

I know you can set up a spectator cam, however you need 2 monitors for that and seeing as how streamers usually have their streaming info (chat, OBS, etc) on their second monitor, a window would work better.

Unfortunately Unity doesn’t provide any way of opening a second window. The best way for streaming is to have a second monitor, but if you don’t have one then it’s possible to use the spectator screen with software that creates a virtual display, such as https://virtualmonitor.github.io/

Even if I do this however, the second window can’t be set to spectator mode. So my hidden stuff is still fully visable.

open_window 1 would be perfect for this if there was a way to spawn a second window outside of tabletop simulator so OBS can hook into it correctly.

Sorry, but there HAS to be a way to make this work so that I can stream the game with hidden info.

Heck, even setting open_window to always open up at the same spot I select (instead of me manually moving it there when the game loads) would be helpful as I can set it up and know that when I load the game again, it will remain exactly where I left it. Then, I can screen capture just that area.
