Push to talk, aka PTT is a 2-way radio-style system that enables straightforward communication at the touch of a button. Its sole work is to transmit voice communication through a variety of networks via devices. Cell phones, two-way radios and walkie talkies and are some common examples of PTT-compatible devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that said, PTT is now of great necessity in modern-day gaming. Gamers use it extensively these days to communicate with their in-game teammates. Now, Discord users may feel annoyed by the background coming from their teammate\u2019s microphone. Also, poor-quality headphones are sometimes the main culprit, which is sure to hinder team collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Push to Talk is turned on, Discord will mute your microphone instantly until you press the designated speaking key to communicate. PTT mutes the annoying and not-welcomed background noise so that you and the other people on your server can communicate with ease during those intense in-game moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
