Ah thanks!

@dank074 Heya, when I'm using the solution on the provided comment I still can't stop the video, console.log(command) is giving me undefined even though there's already a stream ongoing

Also some words about code quality:
Seeing command being a "global" variable like that makes me uncomfortable. Maybe we can return the command directly from streamLivestreamVideo instead?

Yeah we can definitely do that. I think I originally did it that way because the promise in streamLivestreamVideo doesn't resolve until the video is done streaming or errors. Need to think of a better way to do it

Maybe

let command;
const playback = new Promise(/* do stuff */);
return { playback, command }

Or use p-cancelable, and completely hide the command from the user.
