Microsoft Teams: push-to-speak walkie-talkie feature explained

Microsoft is going to imitate the functioning of the traditional walkie-talkie on to their push-to-speak feature on the Teams application. The users can listen and talk to other users with a push of a button while using this feature on the Teams software.

Apart from this, users don’t need to carry any other additional device in their pockets. This is because they can talk with their peers right from the application installed using the push-to-talk button.

The push to talk walkie talkie feature gets encryption security from Microsoft which makes the conversions even more private. The traditional walkie-talkies have no such encryption security because of the use of frequency technology. Moreover, the walkie-talkies are range limited whereas the feature on the Teams runs on the internet.

The technology allows other walkie-talkie users to tune into a frequency that others conversation is taking place. This means they can listen to whatever they speak; whereas the Teams has no such provision because of digital conversation and encryption.

This new feature will give many frontline workers and other users a sigh of relief that is in the field on a job. As they can easily communicate with their co-workers at a push of a button on Microsoft Teams.
