How to use push-to-talk

You can speak when you are muted in a Zoom meeting and the Zoom window is in focus if you hold the spacebar. You will see a message on your screen indicating that you are temporarily unmuted and the microphone will appear green when you talk.

Note: If the host prevents participants from unmuting, you will not be able to unmute yourself with push to talk.
