Nice. The world of PTT goes much beyond the PTT itself these days to many domains such as location based services, safety, sensors, tasks, critical communications, and many more. For these the POC's key value is on its mobile first experience with Dispatch Consoles (web based version for command and control). Teams is amazing, and is focused on the the desktop users, so PTT's value there is different.

Thanks for watching! This area is a bit outside of what we do so we have a lot to learn with PTT. Looks like an area you could educate us on 🤔

Can't fi d the walkie-talkie feature in the app

[@mfh2112]

Do I need a company to use this app? I bought the BlueParrot headsets so I can communicate with my passenger in my Jeep when the top is off. I have the Teams app but don't see any walkie talkie feature.

MS teams uses phone data or wifi. How come its a Walkie Talkie? Learn first how Walkie Talkie works. It must not use any router or mobile data and work as WT!!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

It’s a walkie talkie feature in Teams

[@rageroomli]

question, so in order for my warehouse guys to NOT use their phone as their radio i can get a wifi radio or network radio i suppose, any suggestions? suprised microsoft doesnt make one ive seen "zello" wifi radios (not actually made by zello) but anyway do you have a recommendation for the radio itself so its NOT the phone? I need my front desk that use the blueparrot to be able to radio the warehosue guys (preferably not using their phone) also besides not using the phone for work reasons apple new software causes when locked to no longer PTT

Thanks for this great explainer.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

You're very welcome!

[@Wimb702]

So it works like a nextel?

[@sircontent315]

does it work with earphones connected to iphone?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

It doesn’t, you need to use a compatible headsets like the Jabra Perform 45. That may change in the future though.

[@alexanderlorenzo2335]

Does it work with airpods

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

It doesn't unfortunately.

[@JuanSanchez-rb4qu]

Does the app has a hotkey feature without the headset? because some people in my office dont want to use headsets

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Yes, you can still use the hotkey without a headset.

[@JuanSanchez-rb4qu]

@@HeadsetAdvisor but what is the hotkey? is it hardware-programable or a button on the touchscreen?

[@paulbunt1708]

This had nothing to do with Apps and everything with selling a headset.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hmmm good point that wasn’t my intent but your right well be better and more helpful next time!

[@alexbrown6624]

Yes What’s App ?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

This is Microsoft Teams that supports live push to talk that sync's with the headset. Not sure if this is supported by What's App.

[@oosief]

Is it only available for businesses? I'd like to use this with my family, but not sure how to set that up with teams.

[@truefaceofmo8307]

Does it work without headphones?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Yes it does just have to hit the button in the app.

[@MdRaju-ou2ud]
