When streaming in Field Maps, you currently have to access the overflow menu to select the Start option. Stop (pause) is not a problem as the "Add Point" button changes to the "Stop Streaming" button. I recall the old Collector app had an easier to use interface regarding this. Instead of a single "Add Point" button when capturing lines or polygons, maybe 2 buttons split 50/50 across the same space would improve the process of Streaming. See below layout examples. When "Start Streaming" has been selected, the "Add Point" button would be disabled (grey), though even this could still be available allowing you to insert additional points whilst streaming (i.e. streaming interval set to 100m, but you can then hit "Add Point" to add a vertex manually before reaching the 100m threshold. Whether this would reset the count to the threshold is also debatable.)
