Steam Link streaming turn off when you change account in Big Picture Mode
I use the Steam Link hardware to play Steam Games on my TV and therefore use Big Picture Mode and it works like a charm. The only ploblem I'm having is when you change your account (I switch between my account and my sons linked account). When you change account in Big Picture Mode while streaming trough Steam Link you get logged out of Steam and therefore the Steam Link is turned off. You then have to go to your computer and choose an account so that Steam logs on again. It is very frustrating and not seamless at all. It would have been far better if you got to choose what account you want to switch to before you log out and that Steam then logged on to that new account so that you can continue playing/streaming with the new account without a hiccup. This is a BIG quality of life change and one that will boost the user experience for Big Picture Mode alot!
