Jitsi Meet and Matrix are missing system-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) (to replace Discord).

  • Tell Jitsi -> github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/210

  • Tell Matrix -> github.com/element-hq/element-web/issues/15284

  • Tell Element Call -> call.element.io (Settings > Feedback)

  • Tell SimpleX -> github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/2398

Alternatives (obviously must be cross-platform end-to-end encrypted libre software)?

What does system-wide push-to-talk mean?

[-] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The web browser needs to be in focus for Jitsi keyboard shortcuts, push-to-talk. I want it in the background, with my computer game in focus, overriding the game's shortcuts. Push-to-talk opens the mic when a key is held: so they don't hear background shit when my mouth is shut.

Ah, I see. I think I would describe that as background push-to-talk. "System-wide" implies something different to me.

I don't know of one off the top of my head, but I imagine desktop Matrix clients will start implementing this once native group voip (aka Element Call) is out of beta.

Post title updated. Found Element Call, thanks.
