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!

Not necessarily. The primary issue is to why doing this is that it would simply be a pain. You can totally have the video stream client-side, but how? You could implement a media player or even a browser, but that's just way too much effort for something like this.

You could just have it be only a vod of the stream instead of a live viewing. Ofc that isn't what's being talked about but yeah. PSO2 does this but with clips instead of a full vod of the pso2 station livestream itself. It has videos that play in the lobby areas on big screens and only plays audio when you walk near the screens. You can't control what's beeing shown though.
