1.1. Right-click the Always PTT icon and go to the "Assign Push-to-Talk Key" submenu.


1.2. Select your desired Push-to-Talk Key from the various submenus. The keys are organised into categories to make it easy.


2. Disabling Push-to-Talk.

2.1. You can disable the push-to-talk key and unmute your microphone while leaving Always PTT running by right clicking on the task tray icon and selecting the "Disable Push-to-Talk" option. This will cause the push-to-talk key to return to it's normal functionality and return your microphone to an open mic setup without having to close Always PTT.


2.2. There will be a tick next to the "Disable Push-to-Talk" option when Always PTT is disabled. You can then enable push-to-talk again by selecting the same option.


3. On-Screen-Display (OSD) Settings.

3.1. To change the OSD settings right click on the tray icon and go to the "Always PTT Settings" submenu. Settings changed within this submenu will be remembered next time you launch Always PTT.


3.2. Next, go to the "OSD Settings" submenu, here you can enable the OSD which will display a green headset icon when the microphone is active over the top of any window including full-screen games.


3.3. To change the position of the OSD, go to the "OSD Position" submenu. Here you can choose the position of the green headset icon that appears when the microphone is active.


3.4. To change the size of the OSD, go to the "OSD Size" submenu. Here you can choose the size of the green headset icon that appears when the microphone is active.


4. Enable Beep when microphone is activated and deactivated.

4.1. To enable a beep that sounds when the microphone is activated and deactivated, right click on the Always PTT tray icon, go to the "Always PTT Settings" submenu and select the "Enable Beep" option.


5. Run Always PTT Automatically on Windows Startup.

5.1. To run Always PTT automatically on Windows startup, right click on the Always PTT tray icon, go to the "Always PTT Settings" submenu and select the "Run on Windows Startup" option.


6. Automatically Run Always PTT as Administrator.

6.1. To automatically run Always PTT as administrator on launch, right click on the Always PTT tray icon, go to the "Always PTT Settings" submenu and select the "Automatically Run as Admin" option. This is to be used when voice audio programs such as Discord are running as admin. Always PTT will lose access to the assigned push-to-talk key if you are running a voice audio a program such as Discord as admin, the only way around that is to run Always PTT as admin too. This settings is made optional because it doesn't make sense to run Always PTT as admin all the time unless you do intend to frequently use Always PTT with voice audio programs that run as admin.


SETTINGS TROUBLESHOOTING:

If you have problems with settings you've changed or just need to reset them to their defaults you can reset all settings. Right click on the Always PTT tray icon and go to the "Always PTT Settings" submenu.

Next, go to the "Help" submenu and select the "Reset Settings to Default" option. This will reset all Always PTT settings to default and restart the program. The only setting not effected by this reset is the "Run on Windows Startup" setting.
