I guess open up the app at home before you travel. That sounds slightly inconvenient. I guess they could cap devices to

Ya opening the app before I leave is only a minor inconvenience. I'm more thinking about when I'm waiting in a lobby

They already do limit concurrent streams between 1 and 4 depending on tier.

Seems it would be easier to do something like there is only 1 stream allowed outside of your
