[BUG] That Echo

[rusch95]

I'd really love to help to cut down on the echo issues.

Most echoes are caused by hardware, where someone's microphone is picking up the speaker output. That's not something that can easily be fixed with software. Echoes are the main reason to use push to talk, which I believe is impossible to implement in a web application.

If it's WebRTC, I think something like https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/06/more-native-echo-cancellation might be relevant. I also know plenty of web apps with push to talk, such as Discord's web version.

Well I'm not a developer for this so I don't know if that would help. As for push to talk, this came from one of the devs on discord:

We could solve the echo issues on chrome:
chrome://settings/content/microphone

By just setting the microphone used to the "real microphone" default was "What U hear" resulting in big big echos...
