Jitsi Meet and Matrix are missing system-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) (to replace Discord).

Alternatives (obviously must be cross-platform end-to-end encrypted libre software)?
What does system-wide push-to-talk mean?
The web browser needs to be in focus for Jitsi keyboard shortcuts, push-to-talk. I want it in the background, with my computer game in focus, overriding the game’s shortcuts. Push-to-talk opens the mic when a key is held: so they don’t hear background shit when my mouth is shut.
Ah, I see. I think I would describe that as background push-to-talk. “System-wide” implies something different to me.
I don’t know of one off the top of my head, but I imagine desktop Matrix clients will start implementing this once native group voip (aka Element Call) is out of beta.
Post title updated. Found Element Call, thanks.
