oh that's how it's supposed to work
I've been occasionally using twoseven.xyz to watch videos with people. The idea is that there's a video/audio chat right there with the movie you're watching, so you can react and it's supposedly awesome.
Except there's no echo cancellation, so if the person you're watching with doesn't mute you get the media audio twice. So much for being able to hear them laughing. This is enough of a problem that there's a button where you can mute someone if they don't do it on their end, without having to be the host.
Today, for the first time, I used this tool with headphones on. This is clearly the only good way to do it, because now the mic can't hear the media audio.
I feel a little silly to have taken so long to figure this out. But I'm looking forward to a more social media watching experience now.
