Push-to-talk does not work in games

• Windows: if the game runs as administrator, Windows does not pass its keys to programs that do not. Run Ventrilo as administrator too (right-click it > Run as administrator).
• macOS: allow Ventrilo under System Settings > Privacy & Security > Input Monitoring, then restart Ventrilo. While another app holds Secure Input (usually a password field), keys do not reach Ventrilo: close or leave that field.
• Linux with Wayland: Ventrilo reads keys from your keyboard devices, so add yourself to the input group (sudo usermod -aG input $USER) and log out and back in. On X11 nothing is needed.
• Try another key. Some games capture certain keys. A mouse button or a combination such as Left Ctrl + Mouse 4 often works better.
