Ok so I have a problem.  My girlfriend got a laptop and wants to talk to me on MSN Webcam/Video chat now while I play games / on ventrilo.  My problem is I cant find a way to mute the MSN Webcam/Video chat mic OTHER then hitting the little Mic button on the Webcam window.

See, if I am on WoW or playing HoN or CSS etc. and I am in Ventrilo with friends... I am able to set a keybind to talk called "Push to talk" which makes it so I can say whatever I want without it going through unless I am holding down my Push to Talk key.  With this MSN Webcam, you cant do that, its all voice activation.

So my problem is I am on vent talk to friends about the game were in, and I am on webcam with GF.  Whenever I try to talk to my friends about the game, she can hear me talking and is like  ...huh? what? huh?, or she just is like wtf are you talking about.

I need to find a way to do 1 of two things... I REALLY hope someone has an answere for me cause I have been going out of my mind trying to find some kind of program or way to do this.

1)  Make it so in order for my voice to go through in MSN Webcam/Video I have to hit a "Push to talk" key, rather then it being voice acivation.

OR

2)  Find a way to make it to so I can hit a keybind/hotkey that automatically mutes my mic in the webcam chat (Just like if I were to click the little mic button on the webcam window)  so that I can hit that key to keep my mic muted.  And then just hit it again to unmute it when I want to say something to here.


I know I have a mute button on my headset, however that doesnt help because I still want to talk to people in my ventrilo server etc.  I just want to take the clickable mute mic button from the Webcam window, and link it to a keybind/hot key.

Is this possible ???? Is there anyway to do this ??? PLEASE HELP!!!
