What's even more inconvenient is you broadcasting all your background noise to everyone on the call, or worse, echoing the call itself due to not using a headset
Or, you know, one can increase the voice activation level so that that's not the case?

How do you set it up though, on the OS or in each app and with what software?
There's probably a better way, but I bought a pedal that was for transcriptionists, which came with software that allowed you to bind it to a keypress. Then I made sure that key was mapped to push-to-talk on a per app basis.
Meeting while using vim? Need a second pedal!
Maybe if those "modern" video-conference apps had one, decades old option that was (and still is) avaliable in almost all gaming-oriented voice software (ventrilo, mumble, teamspeak, discord) called PUSH 2 TALK then this problem would be solved, same with the problem of kids/other people in the background (especially this) but yea, we need AI/Blockchain based solutions that require thousands of hours of engineering e…
Given that a lot of business voice chat is essentially phone calls (rather than group meetings), it makes some sense that toggle predominates UI designs.

Or end up in a situation where your voice is heard choppy on the other end, as voice activation triggers too late. Often also missing short replies. Push To Talk is more reliable.
This (ahem) sounds fantastic. I’m currently doing VC off an iPad while sat in front of my Linux workstation. The workstation has no microphone. What kind of mic could I get for it, to migrate all my VC to the workstation?
If you don't have meetings all day I can recommend the Logitech H800. Build quality and comfort are meh, but: It's small, you can use a wireless dongle with linux, switch easily between computer and phone by turning it to bluetooth on the headset and sound is decent.

I actually use many meetings to get a break from the keyboard, so I understand where parent is coming from.
Bind it to a mouse button...
