Mumble! You can host your own mumble server, I used to it for privacy over Discord. Getting people to use it is another challenge.

How is this peer-to-peer?
If you host the server it is. Which is really easy. Then you can do stuff to add security like adding an IP whitelist perhaps along with other things.
Jami on desktop, not on phones yet:
Available only for desktop users for now, the new Push-to-talk feature offers a new effortless way to communicate: simply press a button for hands-free, instant, and convenient audio messaging. It’s like in the olden days of gaming when gamers would key bind the Push to talk feature to be able to talk when necessary.
So jami all the way, 🙂
You cam try https://jami.net/
But I also think Mumble is the better solution, but of course not p2p.
~~Jami has push-to-talk?~~ https://docs.jami.net/en_US/user/all-features-by-client.html
Thank you!
Probably not, but you can likely improvise by binding the audio mute to a button in your OS.
Hard for those on other operating systems to copy me.
You can spin up your own mumble server. It's not that hard, and then once you have that running, you just tell your friends to download the mobile client and boom. You're done
This does not spread privacy beyond them.

What does that sentence mean?
Spread some privacy on the unfortunate users kind sir.
I can't run a server for the whole world. How many of them and their other friends do you think will copy me by getting their own servers?
Matrix or jitsi rooms. Uses webrtc, is mostly to peer to peer except for hole punching or proxying when needed
No push-to-talk

Surprise! Jitsi has PTT
Have you tried it? I don't want to ALT+TAB out of my game, to hold space bar in Jitsi, every time I need to say anything. Jitsi does not have push-to-talk.
