Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Online tabletop RPG players using VTTs (Roll20, Foundry, FantasyGrounds) need voice chat that doesn't conflict with the VTT extension itself. No search volume, but the pain is specific to a hobbyist community with known pain points.
Competition & the opening
Discord, built-in VTT voice, and other VTT extensions already exist. The gap is a lightweight voice extension that cleanly isolates audio routing from damage-type changes and other VTT mechanics without disabling existing extensions.
What's hard to build
Audio routing in the browser is fundamentally constrained by the Web Audio API and browser permissions. The extension must avoid conflicts with the AboveVTT extension's DOM manipulation and event handlers while managing multiple voice streams in a low-latency environment.
Why now
VTT extensions proliferate but audio routing standards lag, leaving gaming groups stuck with feedback and compatibility issues.
