How to: Toggle Mute

Method 1: Use the Toggle Mute (Global) hotkey

The most common use case for a Toggle Mute (or Push-to-Mute) is to mute the mic system wide, so AutoPTT provides a Toggle Mute (Global) hotkey to do just that. You can also enable a sound effect for when the hotkey is pressed and the mute state changes.

This method requires the Activation Mode to be set to either Voice Activity, Tap or Push-to-Talk.

Instructions:

• Click on Hotkeys in the left side menu
• Add a hotkey for Toggle Mute (Global)
• Click on Audio in the left side menu
• Set Activation Mode to Voice Activity, Tap or Push-to-Talk

Method 2: Use the Toggle Mute hotkey

AutoPTT also supports a Toggle Mute hotkey for individual PTT keys. It assumes your target game/app supports Push-to-Talk and gives you a Toggle Mute that does NOT mute the mic system-wide, as it only prevents the PTT key from being pressed.

This method is meant for the Voice Activity mode, which is essentially a smart Open Mic, where AutoPTT presses and releases you mic automatically.

Just make sure to adjust the Activation Threshold (in the Audio section) in Voice Activity mode so that the bar goes into the green when you speak, and drops back into the red when you don’t.

Instructions:

• Click on Hotkeys in the left side menu
• Add a hotkey for Push-to-Talk (AutoPTT will press/release this key)
• Add a hotkey for Toggle Mute (Push-to-Talk 1)
• Click on Audio in the left side menu
• Set Activation Mode to Voice Activity
• Adjust Activation Threshold so that the bar goes into the green when you speak, and back into the red when you stop
