How to: Push-to-Mute

Method 1 (via Push-to-Talk)

The traditional way to get Push-to-Mute in AutoPTT is to simply use the Voice Activity mode and have the app press and release the key for you.

Instructions:

1. Under PTT Keys, set the Push-to-Talk (PTT) 1 and Push-to-Mute 1 keys.
2. Set Activation Mode to Voice Activity.
3. Adjust Activation Threshold so that the Current Value bar turns green/yellow when you speak, and gray when you don’t.

Method 2 (via Open Mic / Voice Activation)

This method works similarly to the Open Mic to PTT and Open Mic to Tap modes: your mic is muted system-wide when you press Push-to-Mute, and unmuted otherwise.

Instructions:

1. Set Activation Mode to Push-to-Talk.
2. Under Other Keys, set the Push-to-Mute (Global) key.
