Beacon now includes a Push-to-Talk (PTT) interface conveniently located in the Dashboard

See how it works:

1. Auto-play On/Off button — When the auto-play button is green, audio messages sent from other responders will play automatically at the volume you have set for media reproduction in your device.
   *** Please be aware that if the media volume setting on your device is set to a low volume, you might not hear the voice messages when they are played.
2. Push-To-Talk button — Click this button to record a voice message; the icon will turn red and a counter will display the recording time elapsed. Click accept send the message.
   * Microphone access permissions are required in order to use this feature.
3. Controls Placement — Click-hold this button and drag to move the Push-To-Talk Controls into desired position.

* Additional Notes

• The messages are limited to 30 seconds and will be deleted after 24 hours.
• All Push-to-Talk interaction will be held on the “All Chat” group of your agency account meaning every user under your Beacon account will have access to them.
