⚠️ Share Precise Location?

You are about to share your exact GPS coordinates with everyone who has access to this stream.

This reveals your precise location in real-time. Consider using a fuzzy accuracy level (~1km or more) for better privacy.

You can change the accuracy level at any time while sharing.
