Hotkey for "Push to Talk"
With the addition of hotkeys in 2.8, one missing feature that's present in similar applications (like PowerToys VideoConference Mute) is "Push to Talk".
i.e.: unmute on keydown, then mute on keyup

To add to the request: the PTT feature for Teams should work even if focus is on another app.
Hi @Tim, @Jeff, I've been looking into this and I have some concerns, mostly the speed at which MuteDeck can trigger mute on the desktop apps (Zoom, Teams, etc.) vs the browser calls. It takes between 0,2 and 0,5 second for an action to go through. With PTT, I get the feeling people will expect instant feedback and not have to wait until the unmute goes through. If that's the case, it'd lead to a lot of talking before the unmute was actually done, so a bad experience. Does this sound recognizable, or are you not expecting instant unmutes and are used to the 0,2-0,5 second?
