Push-to-talk does not work well on in the browser at least on Wayland/Linux. The shortcut only gets sent to the active window, which for the type of contexts where push-to-talk is useful (e.g. gaming) is a dealbreaker. I've read stuff indicating that xdotool can manually handle things reasonably enough on X11, but I was never able to get it working reliably for any of the various Wayland replacements for xdotool, so when I've done voice calls, I've had to grudgingly use the desktop client.

Perhaps https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.fr... ? From a quick skim of the page it's not immediately obvious if that actually will allow PTT to work, though; I'm only suspecting that because I don't see any of its siblings that would even conceivably allow for PTT.

No clue if it's possible or not. I was not able to find any way to do it when I last checked around a year ago, but maybe something has changed since then, or maybe it just isn't implemented in Firefox yet.
