I have my own channel in there and it has a side room that is muted. There is no talk at all when watching videos. I don't find the occasional "poker chat" or hand posted for review to be a problem. There is always a time and a place for it. I'm not a full time player so I need to make up time where I can. If I don't go to vent when playing I will never go to vent. But as Jefferey says, when it gets noisy I either boot them or just leave myself.
