was pushtotalk.nu

Implements push-to-talk functionality directly on an audio input device.

It toggles the audio device's mute. Used as a global push-to-talk when a program does not support such a feature, such as with a web browser that does not currently have focus.

• 2023-04-14 - I don't know when I re-started, but I've been using this ever since I had Windows 11 (2022-07-06), primarily for Jitsi when I learned that OBS Studio has the functionality built-in for streaming.

I swear this date is completely accidental.

• I'm using this for Audacity. It only works while the Audacity window is not focused.

I've been using this for a couple of months.

• roll20.net's virtual tabletop used to need this, but supposedly it's been implemented. I don't believe global hotkeys are possible with a web browser.

• I use ` as my hotkey.

Alternatives ∞

• If you switch to another video conferencing program, that one might have the functionality built-in.

• Unfortunately you cannot pipe audio through OBS Studio and use it's push-to-talk functionality.

• Microsoft PowerToys > Video Conference Mute

  • Because people weren't bombarding them with feature requests, it is moving to legacy and pull-request-only maintenance.
