Implementing live chat requires certain capabilities in the player object/ parent web page to do so. The MediaLive service is designed to be player-agnostic and presently does not implement any live chat features. There are several live chat service providers that offer integrated chat with a live video element, and MediaLive could provide the video element using the streams you already have working now.
On a related note: a similar service from AWS known as Interactive Video Service ("IVS") does implement live chat and provides a sample player object for doing so. You can find more information on IVS here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/media/building-interactive-live-video-experiences-with-amazon-ivs-and-videoflow/
I hope this helps you with your platform workflow.
