How To: Setup Push-to-Talk on Teamspeak
This guide will take you step-by-step through setting up push-to-talk on your Teamspeak. This is useful for when your background noise is causing mic spam. We generally request that you have this enabled regardless, however some can get away with voice detection if their background doesn't cause disturbances.
Step 1: Launch
Open your Teamspeak Software and go to your options. To do this click on the Settings menu and then click on Options.
If like me you are using a smaller window for TeamSpeak, you may need to also click the little Double Arrow button to reveal the Settings menu.
Alternatively you can use the keyboard shortcut of Alt + P to launch the window.
Step 2: Configure
On the left of the Options window is a list of options subsections. Click on Capture and you will see the screen shown here. There are a few settings here, including the setting to change which mic you are using.
Ensure that 'Push-To-Talk' is selected (and not Continuous or Voice Activated) and then click the button (highlighted in blue in our screenshot) to bring up a gray box. While this box is open, press a key combination (This could be a single button such as Ctrl or two such as Ctrl+T) to use as your Push-To-Talk Button.
Step 3: Test & Save
Finally, with that set, you should see a button with the text 'Begin Test'. Press it and it will change but nothing will happen. Press the button you selected in the last step (For be it is Right Ctrl) and hold it down. You should now hear yourself talking while you hold that button and it should stop when you release it.Once you have confirmed this to be working, simply press OK and start using TeamSpeak! Enjoy!
