Visibility of me in the broadcast

As soon as I start recording, I immediately appear in the viewer. Can you make it so that I can not be seen in the broadcast?

I asked a question in the topic: https://github.com/taengstagram/instagram-livestream-downloader/issues/18, but no one answered me.

For example: the extension for Google Chrome "IG Story" does not show that I joined the broadcast, anonymously.

I think the reason Chrome IG Story does not show you have joined is because it only fetches and shows live comments, not status messages like who joined the livestream. With that said, I'm pretty sure it's not possible to anonymously join an Instagram livestream. Your best bet would be to use a seperate account to record the livestreams if it's really an issue.

I agree, IG Story does not really show who is connected, the problem is not this. When I watch the live broadcast through the IG Store, the user's device and viewers do not physically show that I have connected and watched. Then I can also extract the browser cache, merge the m4a + m4v files and get the finished file. So it's possible.

I use already 3 separate account for recording livestreams, because users hide from me their storis or block.

Some users have already deleted my 5 accounts. In the latest version 2.2.7, I can be seen at the beginning of the recording and after the user lost the Internet. I repeat, the livestream-dl sees me only in the second case. I noticed that I was shown after requesting the status of the broadcast. I still do not understand how IG Story requests the broadcast, but I've never been noticed since April. I continue to watch...

IG Story depends on WatchMatcha which doesn't login to a specific account I suppose.
