INTEGRATED PUSH-TO-TALK COMMUNICATION

Example methods and systems provide push-to-talk (PTT) functionality integrated with other functions. The PTT functionality can include a graphical interface provided by a client application. The graphical interface can display PTT groups and/or icons for individual users. Users can generate PTT group definitions in response to input to the client application. A group control input can cause PTT transmission from a client device to a group of client devices corresponding to the PTT group. PTT groups can optionally be shared through the client application or via a URL that invokes a private Web page, and recording and transcription of PTT communication can optionally be provided.
