The program is called OpenVRDesktopDisplayPortal by Hotrian, see below for links.

If you want to overlay Twitch chat, this program works but you can also use this similar program made by the same person specifically for Twitch chat:

This program works on both the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift VR HMDs, but some games on the Oculus Rift will not work. All HTC Vive games will work.

If you are seeing a black box, click on the box next to the window selection dropdown menu to toggle Direct Capture mode.

Remember to save your profile for each game so it's easy to load up the same overlay position!
