You should be able to do it as an NDI source with a switcher like the tricaster mini, or maybe as others have done with the unreal engine or maybe like these guys. https://www.blendernation.com/2018/06/25/blender-used-in-hybrid-studio-pipeline/

You can do this after the fact, but unless you're running a supercomputer, Blender probably won't be able to keep up with the live feed.
