What is the push-to-talk feature on my Arlo
camera and how does it work?
Arlo Ultra, Arlo Q, Arlo Q Plus, Arlo Pro, Arlo Pro 2, Arlo Baby, and Arlo Go cameras allow
two-way communication between cameras and computers or mobile devices. Use the push-to-
talk feature to speak from the computer or mobile device that you are using to view your camera.
You can speak to the people or pets that you are viewing on the camera—in real time.
Note: If the device that you are using is not connected to a microphone, you cannot push to talk.
Consider using your mobile phone instead.
To use the push-to-talk feature:
1. Launch the Arlo app or log in to your Arlo account at my.arlo.com.
2. Tap or click Devices > Live.
The Microphone icon displays.
3. Click or tap and hold the Microphone icon and start speaking.
Note: When you are speaking, you cannot hear any sounds from the camera until you
release the Microphone button.
4. Release the Microphone button to hear sounds from the camera.
5. When you are done using the push-to-talk feature, release the Microphone button.
Note: Only audio from the camera end is recorded. The viewer’s voice is not recorded
and is not audible during video playback.
