I thought I would add a small suggestion if I may?
For chatting with your viewers you could use StreamTalker.com it ‘Speaks’ the chat text and announces arrivals using your TTS voice.
Blatant self promotion but thought you should check it out and who knows maybe it will be useful for your VR Streaming :)

Your setup is certainly on the right track with how VR on twitch should be displayed!

That’s very cool idea.
By using a floating plane to display the video in the game, you are going to run into a problem where everything that’s not keyed out will move with the headset

Maybe use a strongly connected components (aka floodfill) algorithm to isolate the person wearing the headset from the rest of the people/coaches on the set.
Alternatively, use a Kinect2 (or LIDAR) to position of each video pixel in your game space after keying them.

Sincerely,
Ben
