'''[https://www.mumble.info/ Mumble]''' is a third-party VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) application that allows people to communicate verbally both in- and out-of-game. While similar to other VoIP services such as Teamspeak or Discord, Mumble has a number of features that make it popular for EVE Online, notably the ability to nest channels, and to passively listen to one channel while actively engaged in another. | |||

If you leave push-to-talk off during a fleet op then you are likely to have some very frustrated Corp mates. This is why push to talk is mandatory. To turn on push to talk for Mumble, follow these steps. | There is nothing more annoying than hearing other people type or breathe into their microphone constantly.
