    Hi,

     

    any news on the availability? We have a retail customer who can't wait for this feature.

     

     

    Thanks!

    This feature would really be very helpful in the performing arts sector.  We're usually broke, need to communicate with each other during performances , which includes **public safety emergency communications** of all types. Radio systems which can span a performing arts facility or campus are $$$.  We already have wi-fi throughout.  Why can't we leverage this existing infrastructure instead of buying older technology?

     

    Please think of your impoverished arts .orgs for this kind of feature.  Thanks.

    How about enabling the Walkie Talkie app in the desktop clients? Could be useful for office workers who just want to use it in the office or if they quickly want to reach floor workers without having to switch to their phone.
