Set up push-to-talk or voice activation

Open Setup (the gear button next to your name at the bottom of the window) and choose Talking.

Push-to-talk

1. Tick Push to talk.
2. Click the button next to Key, then press the key or mouse button you want to use. Combinations such as Left Ctrl + Mouse 4 work. Escape cancels.
3. Click Save.

Clear removes the key. Holding the key always talks, even with voice activation on.

Voice activation

1. Tick Voice activation.
2. Under Start talking when, choose It hears speech (recommended), or The mic is louder than the line and set the line with the Sensitivity slider.
3. Talk to test it: the bar shows when Ventrilo would send your voice.
4. Click Save.
