I'm kind of new to streaming and was curious on how to embed my chat onto the game? Because in order to read chat currently i have to keep my stream up on google chrome and minimize in order to read it. Not only is it a pain to minimize my game, but it also causes some fps drops because of the stream running in the background. I looked some stuff and guides up, possibility i found one OBS guide, but if so, it was no help and was in no way shape or form specific. If linking me to a post please make sure it is specific and detailed. If not help me out because i'm a complete newb here and want this to happen.

Honestly a second monitor/laptop/tablet to show chat is the best thing that you can do. Every legit streamer needs a second monitor IMO.
You can do what LethalFrag does and play games windowed then have chat next to it. I only know of a Minecraft plugin that is able to do what you want to do. The OBS guide for chat only shows the text on the stream which doesn't help you out.

Windowed, popped out chat beside game window
or
Built in overlay window using bartoruiz's mIRC script(seperate from the in stream chat option), requires you to play borderless window if you still want to play fullscreen, just make sure to set the overlay window to always on top

i know this topic has some time already but just wanted to give my contribution in a secondary solution, and maybe even easyer.
if you know any software that allows fullscreen ingame browser, download it and use it. then go to www.kiwiirc.com and login to twitch chat. kiwiirc is a free web based irc client, i have used it for some time after i research a bit of twitch ingame chat and considered this solution a viable one.
browser window may be a litle bit larger than you could wish, compared to a solution where only chat letters would show layered, but still its resizable and software can allow transparency for it also.
i am using OVERWOLF (www.overwolf.com) software for it, not only i use it to get browser running ingame with twitch chat, but it also gives full control over teamspeak3 and for gaming people that is a big help also to have overlayed ingame.
it does also have a irc client plugin, however it has a huge publicity banner from mibbit (the irc client powering the widget) and it just ocupies too much of the widget window, making it harder to resize than browser window, and kiwiirc.com doesnt have big advertizments to crumble the window.
overwolf also has lots of usefull widgets, such as conection to most common IM services (gtalk, msn, yahoo, skype, facebook chat and others) but can also be used to record some video and screenshots, and software is partnered with teamspeak in a way that not only it gives full teamspeak controll ingame, but teamspeak client has built-in options to work with overwolf as well. on other words, teamspeak sort of made this software an ''official'' tool for gamers.
and thats about it, im advertizing too much already, but anyone willing to try this option, i believe they wont regret. and if browser window gets in the way of something, you can allways drag it around the game to a better position and scale it at your will, and also set transparency.
