Create chat only url so people can embed it into their video

Lots of twitch streamers embed the chat into the video itself. This can be done by creating a url that's just the chat, read-only, for people to point their streaming software at. I guess people could also full screen it on another display for following the chat easier, too.

I do think the normal use case wouldn't need the input, such as this type of thing:

So is that just an HTML page layered on video?
I guess I'm not terribly clear on how a Message-only component would actually be implemented.

You can point OBS to the URL and it would look something like:
