Push to talk for Samsung Xcover Pro
I was able to get the button working by following these steps. During the process you have to sign up for knox trial unfortunately. Everything else is done through Intune. https://insights.samsung.com/2020/06/29/how-to-program-buttons-on-your-galaxy-xcover-pro/
Kurt Wait what? Where does it say that in order to use a button on this new phone that we have to buy InTune and Knox??? Just to use the side button?
Microsoft has now told me that Walkie Talkie is only in preview mode and isn't supported yet sent me KB articles from Samsung, not Microsoft, saying we have to use InTune in order to enable the Walkie Talkie feature, yet it's already there.
I was sent this https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Teams&searchterms=57157
So I'm confused as to why we need both Knox and InTune to use the PTT feature when Microsoft is now saying it's not even yet available. I really wish there's actually software companies that can help customers with its products. It's so frustrating.
By the way, you can use the button and in settings change it to open any app but to have it do a function within an app like push to talk within the teams app, that's where the need to use intune\knox comes into play. I think that's because it's an OEM level type of change to the button. Again, it could be more of a Samsung requirement to use MDM software (intune or similar) along with a knox license.
It's in public preview so it hasn't been generally released but you can enable it. You have to enable it through the Teams Admin Center. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/walkie-talkie
After that, wait a while and the walkie talkie feature will show up in the Android App. To get the button working, you have to follow the other link I posted previously. Because it's a hardware button, I think the requirement to use knox to configure the button probably has more to do with Samsung than Microsoft. Really you just need a knox license that you add to intune. Everything is still done through intune.
