I'm a web dev and have also talked with 2 mid sized streamers and developers who dualstream to twitch and youtube and we have all found that the youtube chat api is extremely bad and way too restrictive. Thats probably why nobody made a bridge plugin for it yet. Just a little sample for you: you have to poll for chat messages and every request counts against your api quota that is so restrictive that you run out of quota in 2-3 hours usually (and because you are polling and dont get a websocket for new messages it makes it way slower than every other api that it's almost not worth it for realtime chat.
Oh and I forgot: the docs are also not good, and some things link in loops or reference things that dont exist, also some api calls cost more that one quota token, but dont tell you how much, so you have to experiment and see how fast you run out.
