# Talk back: let party leaders reach the caller

> Talk back is already on. Give your party leader role Priority Speaker, and have each leader set up push-to-talk with two keybinds: normal goes to their squad, priority goes to their squad and the caller. It needs the Discord desktop app.

## Server setup

There is nothing to set on the dashboard. In Server Settings → Roles, pick your party leader role and turn on **Priority Speaker**. To limit it to certain channels, leave the role alone and allow Priority Speaker for that role on those channels instead.

## Each leader's setup

1. **Push to talk.** In User Settings → Voice & Video, switch on push-to-talk and raise the release delay a little so their last word isn't cut off.
2. **Normal key.** In Keybinds, add **Push to Talk (Normal)** and record a key — for example mouse 4.
3. **Priority key.** Add **Push to Talk (Priority)** and record another key — for example mouse 5.

Now the normal key goes to their squad, and the priority key goes to their squad **and** the caller. Other squads don't hear it.

## Several leaders at once

If a few leaders press their priority key together, their voices are mixed so nobody gets cut off. If it is too loud for the caller, they can right-click the Callout bot and turn it down. With [voice teams](https://www.nocapbots.com/docs/voice-relay/voice-teams.md) on, every caller in the shot caller channel hears talk back.

> **Tip: Desktop only.** Priority Speaker doesn't work on mobile, so leaders need the Discord desktop app.
