PowerToys – open-source Windows utilities

Anyone have a good “Push to Talk” utility for windows?

This PowerTools has something close but not exactly what I’m looking for.

I’ve gotten used to PTT in apps like Ventrilo / Discord and hate having to constantly unmute / remute in Teams.

Teams added something like this recently, hold down ctrl+space to temporarily unmute

I went the other way and wrote a utility that mutes my mic when I type.

I got a headset that mutes when I move the mic up and unmutes when I move it back down: jabra evolve2 65, comes in mono and stereo. If you want an over-ear option they have evolve2 85 but that's like $500

I found MicMute[1] has anything I want from such a tool.

Also would enjoy such feature for bugger meetings as hangout setting
