Live-Session Playback Notification for Late Joiners

Context / Current Behavior:
During live sessions on the WOW platform, users who join late have the option to rewind and start watching from the beginning thanks to the Live Recording Playback feature


For example, if a user joins 30 minutes after the session starts, they can rewind 30 minutes and watch from the beginning while the host continues live

However, once the host ends the session (after, say, 60 minutes total), the stream also ends for everyone — including those who were still catching up via the playback feature. As a result, late joiners see their stream suddenly stop at their “current live point,” which can be confusing for new users who may think something went wrong technically

Proposed Solution:
When the live stream ends, users who are still watching via the delayed playback should automatically receive an on-screen notification:

“🔔 The live session has ended.
The full recording will be available shortly — please watch it in a few minutes.”
