Startup Idea: Integrated Chat for Streamers

Startup idea to develop a software solution that integrates chat functionality directly into streaming platforms. This software would also need to have the basic features found in streamlabs, such as video overlays and growth tools. This would solve a major convenience issue for streamers who currently need to manage multiple screens to both interact with their audience and control the streaming process.

As a hobby I live stream video games on Twitch.

The biggest issue for anyone streaming is there is no chat integration with the streaming software. Most, if not all streamers, require multiple monitors just so they can set up a decent quality stream. I use OBS (Open-Broadcasting Software) and streamlabs, and even with both of those I still need to have my stream open to see chat, while also dedicating a monitor to the video game.

It becomes very challenging to manage. If a software could combine chat integration with the basic features of streamlabs (video overlays, growth tools) I personally would not hesitate to switch software and I know many other streamers would be interested.

It might seem trivial to want chat integration but being able to interact with your stream is paramount to everything else. The only effective way to achieve growth is through constant chat interaction. I have looked for a solution and could not find one. I searched terms like "streaming software with chat, chat integrated software twitch". I also posted on the reddit forum for twitch asking for any solutions and got no results. I currently dedicate three monitors to have all the relevant information available to me.
