Watch Steam stream without having Steam account

Lately I have used the "broadcast stream" option in Steam to let some friends watch "No Man's Sky", so they could see if it matches their expectations before buying. They had Steam accounts. I checked "public" option to make my video stream accessible by anyone without me explicitly allowing each one in.

Now my question: If I want to let someone watch my broadcast (Twitch-style) on the Steam webpage without a Steam account... would that be possible somehow? Or do you need a Steam account before being even able to join a public broadcast?

Thanks for any help on this!

Can you stream directly from Steam?

Steam broadcasting uses the Steam client to record, encode, and broadcast your gameplay live over the internet. Like other live streaming software, it allows you to connect a microphone to communicate with your viewers, and you can also choose whether or not to include audio from other applications on your computer.

Can you watch someone else play on Steam?

You can only watch if that person has broadcasting enabled. And no, it does not interfere with gameplay.

Can you broadcast a non Steam game?

Yes, you can stream games added as non-Steam games.
