UI: Enable first-party YouTube Chat features in OBS
Description
Unlock the full feature set of the YouTube Chat dock in OBS by removing custom scripting/CSS logic. Enable the signed-in experience for live streaming content creators (sharing login credentials with the YouTube Control panel dock, see https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/10747).
Motivation and Context
This will allow OBS users to utilize features already supported in the YouTube Chat plugin, such as
- creating polls
- managing Q&A sessions
- a rich emoji set in the input panel
- emoji fountains
- moderation tools
and many more. These features are available to users who are logged-in to YouTube Chat and/or the YouTube Control panel.
How Has This Been Tested?
Built OBS locally on Linux workstation, verified existing functionality for YouTube Chat continues to work in signed-out state. Signing-in to YouTube hides the native Qt input panel in favour of the YouTube native input panel that unlocks all of the first-party functionality for live streaming content creators.
