Is there a push-to-talk key?

No working push-to-talk key is confirmed by the sources checked here. In a Steam reply, a developer says the request has been heard and the team will try to add push-to-talk in the future. That is an intention, not confirmation of an available setting or a release date. Developer reply, in Russian

Why are players asking for it?

A separate player requests a push-to-talk option because they use Discord calls while playing and do not want an open microphone. That describes the poster’s experience and preference. It does not establish a complete list of microphone settings for every build. Original request

What should I check when reporting a microphone problem?

State whether other players cannot hear you, hear you continuously, or whether you are asking for a new control. Include the version you are using and the exact labels of any relevant options you can see. A request for push-to-talk and a microphone that does not transmit are different questions.

This page cannot supply a verified mute shortcut, microphone-selection path or push-to-talk binding. If an update adds one, its current menu text or official update note should take priority over this launch-week status answer.
