How do competitive online games perfectly sync up everyone so that it’s a fair playing field?

What boggles my mind is that it’s not only player movements but also things like voice chat callouts. I hit a button to push-to-talk, and someone on the other side of the country hears me near instantaneously.

When you play a game online with other people, there is a special computer (server) that makes sure everyone sees and plays the game the same way. This computer talks to each player’s computer and tells them what is happening in the game. This helps make sure that everyone is playing the game fairly and that nobody has an advantage over anyone else.
