System-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) voice chat without registration or having to run my own server (to replace Discord)? (lemmy.world)

Jitsi Meet and Matrix are missing system-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) (to replace Discord).

Tell Jitsi -> github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/210
Tell Matrix -> github.com/element-hq/element-web/issues/15284
Tell Element Call -> call.element.io (Settings > Feedback)
Tell SimpleX -> github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/2398

Alternatives (obviously must be cross-platform end-to-end encrypted libre software)?

I feel like this violates the Unix philosophy. I think a dedicated program that handles unmuting the mic would be a better solution that solves this issue more generally.

Jitsi, Matrix and SimpleX are cross-platform.
