Push to talk for Samsung Xcover Pro

Question

We have a couple of the Samsung Xcover Pro devices now and I do not see any updates on when the push to talk will be available? All the news from back in January is the same, any eta on when this might make it into production?

Yzlance&nbsp;&nbsp;Looks like it's available now.&nbsp; You can assign the app through the teams admin console.

Yzlance&nbsp;We just bought this phone to test with Teams as well as there is ZERO information on how to configure the PTT specific feature with Teams walkie talkie feature.&nbsp; The only option i can see is configuring the button to open Teams, but that's not what it's designed to do.&nbsp;We're supposed to be able to click the PTT button this phone and it will work as a walkie talkie in the Teams app (even when locked).&nbsp; The only way I can use the walkie talkie feature is to open the app, click on the walkie talkie then the channel I need then click on the screen to talk.&nbsp; That's what every other phone can do.&nbsp; What specifically on this Samsung XCover Pro with this very specific PTT feature for Microsoft Teams exclusively can do this?&nbsp; No details anywhere.

luvsql&nbsp;&nbsp;I was able to get the button working by following these steps.&nbsp; During the process you have to sign up for knox trial unfortunately.&nbsp; Everything else is done through Intune.&nbsp; https://insights.samsung.com/2020/06/29/how-to-program-buttons-on-your-galaxy-xcover-pro/
