Youtube live second camera question

Any of you ever use Youtube live and use a second camera? I'm thinking of putting up a "behind the scenes" second camera for our weekly newscast, probably just a simple USB webcam. What I don't want is audio from the webcam, I want the second camera to still have the main audio. Short of connecting an audio interface and feeding program audio into the computer for the second camera, can anyone think of a different way to do this? I checked the Youtube settings and there isn't a way to force main audio onto additional camera angles. Figure it was worth a shot to ask, even though it's kind of "consumer" level for most of the topics here.
 
I don't want to cut to a second camera, I want a second angle that the viewer can choose (Youtube calls it a second camera). Otherwise I'd just put another camera into our switcher and switch the show around it. which is the easy part.

That and our primary feed is sent through a hardware based stream encoder (won't name the brand because I'm not happy with it or the company behind it).

Assuming I figure this out, and assuming we want to continue, I'll probably end up with a couple of Raspberry Pi computers and webcams to stream any additional viewer selected angles.

Keep in mind, these are students doing everything except directing, we are live at 11:00am and 2:30pm Eastern time (think we are in daylight savings now for those that don't switch):
