There is nothing more annoying than hearing other people type or breathe into their microphone constantly. 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.

{{Note box|
Linux users using the Wayland desktop manager are not currently able to configure global hotkeys in Mumble. This is a known bug as of 2022, with no prospect of being fixed, outside of either a) using an older desktop manager (which is running out of community support) or b) using a specific desktop compositor that allows you to set keybinds via a config file. Both are really janky workarounds that shouldn't be recommended.
 
Mumble audio still works, you just can't transmit with PTT. Per Intake, this is acceptable - just 'avoid taking special roles that require
communication via voice'.

Some of our mumble rooms, most notably the fleet and general lounge channels are linked to other channels. The purpose of these sub channels is to give the group within the option to talk to each other without all of the linked channels being able to hear it.

It can be useful to have the Mumble Overlay set up for fleet operations as it eliminates the need for checking the Mumble client to see who is talking. See the [[Mumble Overlay]] for a step-by-step guide.
