11. Using Two-way Audio or Push-To-Talk
Petcube comes with 2 ways of audio
interaction: default simultaneous
2-way audio and optional ‘push-to-talk’
feature that works much like
a walkie-talkie.
To start talking and listening, first,
make sure the sound is activated
in Settings at the top right, then simply
tap the mic icon in the bottom left
corner (fig 4.11.1).
To switch to push-to-talk audio:
1. Open the Petcube app;
2. Go to the camera profile, tap
the ‘Settings’ wheel in the upper
right corner if you use Android
or tap the ‘Play’ icon if you use iOS;
3. Tap the ‘Settings’ wheel
in the upper right corner;
4. Select ‘Video & Audio’ and disable
the ‘Simultaneous 2-way audio’
(fig 4.11.2).
‘Let me hear my pet’ and ‘Let my pet
hear me’ being in the Off position
defaults live stream connection audio
to be Off (fig 4.11.3).
You can enable sound and mic manually
using live stream controls if you decide
you want to hear what’s going
on in your home, or talk to your pet
(fig 4.11.4).
