PTT or open conversation? Choose the right model

Two primary modes

PTT is best for control and discipline. Open conversation feels natural for small, interactive sessions.

When to go open

For small teams, training, or quick brainstorming, open talk is faster. You still need clear controls to mute and unmute.

UX rules that matter

• Keep mute and unmute visible at all times.
• Highlight the active speaker with name and avatar.
• Set a concurrency cap to avoid noise.

Summary

Pick the mode based on the scenario and team size; both can feel great when designed well.
