I wish push-to-talk was more common. On linux I've been using this little python script that implements global push-to-talk by (un)muting the microphone in pulseaudio when you push a button. https://gitlab.com/somini/inpulse-to-talk

Time to see if there's something equivalent for mac.

On Zoom, you can push to talk by pressing the space bar.

Yes, this advice is Zoom-centric but the app calls out Zoom in the first sentence on the page, so I think it's fair.

We use discord for our company voice chat and you can easily enable push-to-talk if that's what you prefer.
