Feature Request: WebEx Push to Talk

[amartens]

Could we have the ability to use a "push to talk" feature?

To avoid the problem of the mute/unmute hell I'd like to host a meeting where users have to keep a key depressed (like the spacebar) in order to talk. Let go of the key and they're instantly re-muted.

This feature is being released in 40.8! https://help.webex.com/en-us/xcwws1/What-s-New-for-the-Latest-Versions-of-Webex-Meetings#id_137328

Push to Talk

When muted, you can now hold the spacebar down to momentarily unmute. Simply press and hold the spacebar when you want to talk. You'll see an indicator that you are temporarily unmuted. Release the spacebar to go back on to mute.
