Live chat using Character Animator from a nearby room

Question

HiWas hoping someone might be able to help. We are hoping to set up a live character 'chat' to answer questions during an Open Day. The person answering people's questions and animating the character will be in a recording studio next to the room the public will be touring. We hope to set up a webcam/mic over the TV in the main room so that the animator can see/hear the visitors and answer their questions. The main question is - how would we live stream to the TV? - would we have to use YouTube or something along these lines or is there a way to stream directly to TV via HTMI or an AppleTV? Has anyone done something like this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not very good at English so I may not be understanding correctly.
I converted Japanese to English with translation software.

Chatting with CharacterAnimator is an interesting attempt.

If you want to chat with visitors in real time, I don't think ”YouTube"”ZOOM””Skype" is necessary.

If the distance is close, it's better to connect the monitor directly with HDMI cable & Audio cable.

You can also use Wifi to project the CharacterAnimator on the ZOOM, but the setup will be more complicated.

I think there are various methods, but here is sinple example.

◆ Visitor side
Monitor to watch the broadcaster's CharacterAnimator video.
Speaker listening to the voice of the Broadcaster .
Camera and microphone to pick up the video and voice of the visitors.

◆ Broadcaster side
Show the video of the visitors.
Listen to the voices of visitors with headphones.

PC (CharacterAnimator)

I'm glad if you can use it as a reference.　Thank You.
