Like a walkie-talkie, PTT allows only one person to speak at a time. No one else can speak until you give up control by releasing the Side button. A tone signals that you gave up control. Now somebody else on the call can have a turn speaking.

What can I do with PTT?

Here are a couple of examples of what you can do with PTT:

An important last-minute change happens in the project; for things to go smoothly, you need to communicate the news right away.

•You’re on vacation with your family and you create a Family Vacation group. You
