Live rooms gain large real-time multiuser chat rooms

After adding stream ingestion and live rooms, something still seemed missing: real-time chat. Each live room now has its own large, independent chat room, making the experience much better.

Features

Chat appears on the right of the live room. Visitors who are not signed in are prompted to sign in. Once signed in, an input box appears and everyone in that room can chat with real-time updates.

The backend runs a socket communication system. Live rooms connect to this socket system, which communicates with the backend to subscribe to and publish user messages.
