Hello guys, I have implemented your app with this tutorial

> **[OpenVidu Docs](https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.15.0/tutorials/openvidu-insecure-js/)**

  
But I can’t understand why I keep hearing myself when I am alone in the room. It shouldn’t be like that, right? Where do I look for my mistake?

Well, if you entering two times (in two different tabs), you will see your own video as another participant.

I am not though. I have implemented your application into mine and start it by clicking a button. Both applications are on different ports, it doesn’t open a new tab when I start the video. It is on the same but still I somehow hear myself.

I managed to fix this. The problem was that my video wasn’t muted and so i could hear myself. I added “muted” property to the video tag and now it’s all good. Thanks.
