    so this would create double push-to-talk, forcing me to hold two keys together to talk in-game.

    Why not use the same key for the game and the local mic control? I used to have a single key to mute myself in mumble and talk in Overwatch, and it worked well. Does your OS prevent it?

      Those in both the call and game at the same time will hear everything, either from the call or game, as the mic is never mute everywhere.

        I think you’ve misunderstood again.

        In my call, I left the mic open by default, and configured a key as push-to-mute.
        In the game, I left the mic muted by default, and configured the same key as push-to-talk.

        This way, I could speak on the call or in the game, but never both at once, and the my was not open by default in the game.

        Edit: Oh, I think I figured out what your first sentence was supposed to mean. I think you want not only to choose between two voice chats (a game and a call) when talking, but also be muted in both by default so other sounds in the room won’t be heard by anyone. Yes?
