While I'm not a completely against a multi user system, I don't believe it is something that I will personally be working on anytime soon. We originally built Fireshare to solve a single simple problem which was the ability to quickly and easily share your clips/videos.

Once you start building in stuff like user systems you start getting into a much broader area of tool and right now I think that if a user system is something somebody is looking for then there are other video sharing apps that already have that capability (see PeerTube) and will likely do it better than any system I put together with the limited time I have to spend updating or building out new features into this project.

So, tl;dr probably not something you'll ever see incorporated into Fireshare because it starts moving outside the realm of what Fireshare is meant to be and do. If it is something you absolutely need, PeerTube or other similar video sharing apps are going to be a better solution.
