Headphones and Privacy for Live Video

Short answer: Headphones keep audio to yourself. Check the volume and mute button before joining, and avoid speakers in shared homes.

Sound is often the first thing that gives you away.

Why headphones

They stop others in the house from hearing the stream and make chat easier to follow.

Wired or wireless

Either works. Charge wireless ones first so they do not drop out.

Mute first

Open the room muted, then raise the volume slowly.

Microphone

Keep your microphone off unless you choose to speak.

Sudden noise

Have a quick way to lower volume if someone walks in.
