Mostly, you can build live streams with chat, but live video needs a service and extra testing.
You can build a site where people watch live video and chat beside it. A video service handles broadcasting, while Vibecode builds the pages and chat. Start with one stream before adding more broadcasters.

The checker split your own version of Twitch into its key parts and sorted each one.
Stream browsing
Vibecode can build a home page with stream cards that open a watch page.
Works out of the box
Live video
Connect a service like Mux for live video, then test broadcasting, playback and connection drops.
Takes more work
Chat beside the stream
Use Vibecode Cloud for shared chat messages and test updates between viewers.
Needs setup
Viewer accounts
Vibecode Cloud provides sign-in by emailed code on the Plus plan.
Needs setup
Chat moderation
Use cloud accounts and permissions so you can remove messages and block people from posting.
Needs setup
A website gives viewers room for live video and chat side by side.
Plan ahead: Only stream content you have permission to broadcast, and add chat moderation before opening the site to everyone.
Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build a website for people who want to watch live streams and chat beside the video. The home page should show realistic sample stream cards with titles, creator names, thumbnails and live badges. Clicking a card should open a watch page with a large sample video player and a chat panel beside it. Let me type a message and add it locally to the sample chat. Clearly label video and chat as demo content, not a real broadcast. Use a dark charcoal background, purple accents and clear white text. On small screens, place chat below the player. Keep this first version focused on browsing, watching a sample and trying the chat.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: a home page with sample stream cards; a watch page with a sample video player; chat beside the player with simulated messages and local posting. Plan on a few weeks for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Twitch, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); API key for Mux (that service's pricing).
Twitch has established streamers, their regular viewers, and active communities that a homemade streaming app would start without. A version you build yourself won't have these: established Twitch streamers; existing viewer communities; Twitch's global streaming operations.
