Tips
This module is a lot of fun for situations where you're using Sonos as a jukebox, with lots of people adding music to the queue. Audio and video will never be perfectly synced -- that's not the goal of this module.
For best results while using this module:
- Log into YouTube with an account that can view age restricted videos.
- Block preroll ads on YouTube.
- Mute your Mac's audio.
- Be intoxicated.
