Hold, Tap and Open mic

Three ways to talk: hold while you speak, tap to start and stop, or an open mic that sends when it hears you.

Hold sends while you press. Tap starts on one press and stops on the next. Open mic stays on and sends only when it hears your voice. A room can switch some of them off; then only the allowed ones show.
