What is Push-to-Talk?
Push-to-Talk, or PTT (or Push-to-Transmit), is not a new technology. Generally speaking, it is a method of having conversations or talking on half-duplex communication lines. Just like a walkie-talkie where momentary button is used to switch from voice reception mode to transmit mode.

Having that in mind, along with the possibilities of Viber
as a VoIP application, Viber Media Inc. brought us the same “new”
feature, Push-to-Talk. It’s available for iPhone and Android devices in
4.0 version of Viber.
How does Push-to-Talk work in Viber?
It’s a voice message streaming that allows us to speak message instead of typing it. It’s a four step process: record, send, download, play. Viber does all four at the same time.

Push-to-Talk feature works in a two ways: auto-play is
automatically active if person on the other end is in Hold & Talk
mode. In that case, Viber streams your message as you speak.
To be in Hold & Talk mode means that you are actually
in the conversation and Hold & Talk button is displayed on your
screen.
