Interesting idea! And it seems as though there would be someone in a "director" role switching between the feeds at the appropriate time...?

You can do this by using a vision switcher (preferably a hardware one), and then sending the mixed/switched feed to the computer that is streaming to YouTube Live. I don't have details of *how*, so I won't make an answer.
