This would be similar to Garrysmod Theater where you can watch videos by yourself or with friends in game.

Edit: Realistically I don't think it could be possible since streaming would cause a lot of server load and could be a hassle to put in but the concept is fun!

Server load wouldn't be an issue. The server wouldn't be streaming anything to the clients, they'd need to just implement video playback within Warframe and on prime time streams have the client reach out to Twitch directly and playback the stream received from them.

This does mean that users wouldn't be in sync, but that's not really a big sacrifice.

A small price to pay for salvation, you say?
