In TS3, we have audio profiles and we can select them when creating bookmarks, this feature is really useful to bring a music bot in through virtual audio cables and voicemeeter and I’m sure they had other uses for other people as well. However those profiles seem to be gone in TS6.
Is there any plan to bring them back?
The new TS6 client looks really nice, but this missing feature prevents me from moving on from TS3 sadly.
Lately I’ve been moving forward to the TS6 client because somehow the TS3 one seems to be a time bomb when I use it on windows 11, after a while my whole system become sluggish until I close the app.
Didn’t want to spend time troubleshooting this since there’s new stuff out. However, in TS6, there’s no audio profiles anymore, which I( And I assume I’m not the only one ) use to do a spotify music “bot” with voicemeeter.
Is there any plan to bring back those ?
I’m sorry your feedback got lost in the storm of the TS6 release, but I’ve forwarded the suggestion to the team and will let you know as soon as I know more.
To my knowledge, I’d say it probably won’t come back as it could cause confusion, especially for newer users, but I’ll pass it on for discussion anyway.
Hi, Thank you for the answer ! Having the audio profiles back would be best for audio bots and stuff like that. But I understand it could cause confusion for people who are not used to it.
I did however set up a TS6 server and played around with screen sharing, I can share my spotify window and it streams the audio as well. which can be quite a good workaround !
Only thing I noticed though, I cannot select “Server” as my connection mode while screen sharing, only P2P is available. Is there anything specific I need to do on the server side to support this mode ?
Thank you !
Currently there is only P2P available. Server side screen share is still under development.
But good to hear that you’ve found a workaround. Regardless it is forwarded to discussion.
We originally decided against reintroducing this feature because, in practice, the only consistent real-world use case was Virtual Audio Cable / music bot setups. For that specific scenario, the feature added disproportionate complexity in other areas of the client.
That said, I’m genuinely interested:
Are there additional meaningful and realistic use cases for bringing audio profiles back — beyond Virtual Audio Cable / music bot scenarios?

To be fair, that’s the only use I see. Maybe other people can chime in and add some use cases if any.
I’m now using the screen sharing to share my spotify app and it works quite well. Honestly I think if there could be a feature that allows to share the audio of a specific window just like the screen sharing does but without the video feed to keep the overhead lower, it would be good.
The audio profiles were allowing an easier use though, just connect a second time using another profile and the music would play through it. But I understand that the complexity it brings may not be a priority for now.
That being said, I guess with what’s going on with discord, you might get a wave of fresh new users expecting features like music sharing to be an easy task since I think it’s doable over there? (May need to validate this, I’ve never went on discord 
Always been a teamspeak user)
We could offer the “Stream Audio Only” feature 
Maybe something we will see in the near future
Personally, I use Capture Profiles to switch audio sources quickly with just one Keybind, which is extremely convenient to me. I want to add that one of my microphones doesn’t work properly unless I use Direct Audio as Capture More. Because of that limitation and the lack of keybind options, I still use TS3 most of the time.
I think audio profiles are just practical to handle different audio devices in general.
