Feature Request: Filter option for remoteParticipants of Room.

[edutilos6666]

Hi guys,
I have following question:
Currently in react-components, when we call const participants = useParticipants(); we are getting all participants. But let's say, we have 10.000 viewers(participants) in the room. I would like to get only filtered participants (e.g. first 50 who joined first). Is it possible currently?

With so many viewers, the only solution that could handle that many concurrent viewers is LiveKit Cloud.

We have a Livestream mode where viewers' metadata would not be sent to everyone, only publishers'.

I understand this part. But let's say , I want to display only 100 people when user clicks on the participant list in frontend. I want to have server side filtering option. Because if we load 10.000 users to frontend and filter in frontend, it will have performance impact on our application.
