Push to Talk is a wifi broadcast walkie-talkie style application. Unlike similar applications, Push To Talk broadcasts to all the people on the wifi network so there's no need to an internet connection. Problem is, Skype just seems to update whenever it wants, you no longer turn off automatic updates, so reinstalling this one is the only option if it auto updates. We love this little app, makes online gaming great with friends, using Skype's high quality voice chat while gaming and the ability to push to talk, so we can't hear each others noises.
Update: Skype PTT 1.0 Final is releasedI've been checking out skype as an alternative to ventrilo because we were getting some really bad feedback, but I was really surprised to find there was no real PTT support other than a mute mic hotkey.
So I decided to make a little utility program for skype.
(Skype PTT in action, nevermind the not responding :P)
Quick Guide:
1. Start Skype as normally and login.
2. Download and unzip from the link below, if you're having trouble starting the program you should download and install the .net 2.0 framework or higher.
3. You may get a screen saying SkypePTT.exe wants to use Skype, click Allow access.
4. Call and press your hotkey to talk! (note u may have to click abit before talking because of the mute/unmute delay).
This version is outdated, get the new version here: Skype PTT 1.0 Final.
If u still want to get the old version for any reason click here to download it.
