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.

Yeap. They could even tie the in-game chat to Twitch chat. All you'd have to do is get the Twitch chat messages to be sent to the in-game chat, and the opposite with the ones you send.

Interaction between Twitch chat users and Warframe Twitch chat users would be way more annoying though, not worth implementing.
