My friends and I would like to play Jackbox Party Pack online. The only way to do this is to have one person host the game, and stream the video to the other players.
The problem is that Steam Broadcast and Twitch both have a 15-20 second stream latency, which is way too high to play the game together.
Is there some way to stream the game online without such a high latency?
I tried it with some other gamers on Twitch and some game with a fair amount of time to answer (Drawful) are still playable even with the delay. You still have to keep an eye on your mobile device and not count on the actual stream or you'll lose some precious seconds to answer.
To my knowledge, you can't explicitly start streaming.
What you can do is set your security settings so that the public can view your streams.
It appears to make the stream show up in the public section as I've had random people start my stream before when I was playing La Mulana.

Unless you're planning on allowing people other than your group of friends to watch the game, any group video chat or screen sharing software would be perfect for your needs.
Google Hangouts have incredibly low latency (< 1 second in my experience) and allow you to share your screen with others in the chat. Google Hangouts are also free if you already have a Google account. I've personally used Google Hangouts for this purpose, and many other times I've had to share my screen / look at someone else's screen. While there are some quirks if you also speak through the Hangout, this shouldn't be a problem for you if you're using Teamspeak.
As another option, join.me is a screen-sharing alternative that is free, lightweight, and easy to configure.
