Maybe "singing stream (incl. karaoke)" would be more accurate.

This is now a bread-and-butter term in the flourishing vtuber industry, stamped on video titles and performer's twitter schedules.

Proposing only this and 雑談枠. 枠 is quite versatile as 〇〇枠 in this context, but we currently have 0 examples.  歌枠 seems especially common. Compared to 雑談枠, 雑談 can stand alone in context(and usually does), but 歌 cannot.

As it appears in the wild (see youtube, for example, or twitter/x), people will look for 歌枠 wondering what it implies, and currently find nothing (exactly how I got here). xref is the best explanation, I think.

google of "歌枠" "singing stream" get's pretty good results.  So does
"Karaoke stream" "歌枠"
Notably, these are Japanese performers who are giving "karaoke stream" as a translation, and the word "カラオケ" often does not appear at all.  It is possible (though rare) that the singers are singing original music of their own, which wouldn't properly be karaoke.
