# Three-Way Intercom

[**Preset announcements**](/doc/pre-recorded-intercom-announcements-QBwjTScwRJ) can be sent to three different targets, also called **Intercom endpoints**:


1. **In-Room -** announcement directed at the simulation environment
2. **Facilitator -** announcement sent to the facilitator's headset
3. **Simulator -** announcement uttered by the manikin (**"Voice of Patient"**)

:::info
The announcements can be added on the **Intercom** tab of the [**System**](/doc/system-module-TNvU3yVfhr) module, then selected via the **arrow** in the announcement drop-down after having highlighted the desired target (*In-Room, Facilitator **or both***, and *Simulator*). The hardware assignment has to be completed in the **Room Settings** pop-up on the **Rooms** tab.

The Push-to-talk button will turn **green** while the **preset announcement** is being sent out: ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/6c0da235-ff99-49fd-81af-d32f613692dd/0d51334c-8c15-47b9-9e3c-d55803b3fb67/76910162.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T143000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=96c6bcb45857a2e167c0472a4084ff647f84752b5a40c3ec4f86d46e59e3f86c&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =80x105")

**Live announcements** can also be sounded via the respective device by selecting **a target device** (*In-Room, Facilitator or Simulator*), and then **clicking and holding** the **Push-to-Talk** button.


If no valid Intercom destination is available in the system, the Push-to-talk button is displayed in orange (when pushed), and a warning message appears at the top of the page. ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/6c0da235-ff99-49fd-81af-d32f613692dd/ac63dcd5-b7b3-4372-a881-02484d53aa1f/76910164.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T143000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=8058dd1b076a04a39fb67df558153f60e64f852078ae27a9b87cd8d8a94cc6a3&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =80x82")

If the Intercom setup is not completed (e.g., a destination station needs to be **reconnected)**, the Push-to-talk button is displayed in **red color** (when pushing it), and a warning message shows at the top of the page: ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/6c0da235-ff99-49fd-81af-d32f613692dd/2608f585-ce00-49a7-bf91-164df398e115/76910266.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T143000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=8202f20d83156efa75624bf69a63a150108ba843d1f91d6dfd38ed5315f2552b&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =80x84")

:::info
For live announcements, a **microphone** must be **enabled** in the browser settings.

:::


:::warning
***IMPORTANT:*** The **Intercom** functionality of LearningSpace requires the web browser to have **access to the microphone** of the client PC, which in turn requires a [**secure HTTPS**](/doc/how-to-use-the-https-certificate-requestupload-tool-YzuNKlLB6x) connection to the LearningSpace server.

That is, the **client computer's microphone can only be used** with a **valid SSL certificate**. (This restriction stems from the Chrome browser security regulations.)

:::


**Mute videos while talking**

During live announcements (using the Push-to-Talk function), the Speaker icon can be deactivated to mute all other camera speakers in the room.
