Push to talk as toggle not requiring button to be held

I see people having to enable/disable push to talk in order to mute their mic for a moment or to say something out of game. It would be beneficial if you could do so with a shortcut or to turn push to talk into a toggle that doesn't require holding down the button. This would also benefit others as it would be easier to enable voice during tense situations without having to also hold another key.

    I think this change would benefit a lot of players, a small QoL change like this would be nice.

    In the meantime you can use this workaround (PC only sadly enough) in a .cfg file, which toggles between open-mic and push to talk:

    bind_US_standard "v" "toggle TalkIsStream"

    In this case you can change the v to any key you'd like to use for toggling between the mic option.

    (This will work in a match, though sadly enough this workaround doesn't work on the main menu)

  • That is better than the current situation and would probably work out. The main menu issue is unfortunate, but less a problem. Opening the settings menu there is not going to get you shot.
