I’m wondering if this was suggested and discussed maybe, it would be great to see a feature where it’s possible (if user chooses to) see what game they are currently playing

This was previously implemented in TeamSpeak 3 as “application scanner” plugin and it would find running games by monitoring the system process list, if I’m not mistaken.
I know that Discord has this, but it requires constant work to add all known game executables to the list.
So, yes. That would be a neat “gimmick” but I’m not sure whether a small team like TeamSpeak has would be up to the task to maintain this feature for all eternity.
It would probably be wise to let the community participate in keeping the list up to date, maybe even on GitHub as it supports pull requests and doesn’t attract as many trolls as other options?

Sure there can be many different approaches, but the easiest and most reliable would be a “local library” where users can add installed games/programs themselves, something similar to adding a non steam game to steam

This would require users to add games themselves. Not everybody will have the patience to do that. But it could be an additional option for adding games which are not yet known to the public library.

I think it would be nice if you could see which game your friends (myTeamSpeak contacts) are currently playing.
The idea is neither posted in the forum nor in the roadmap yet what I am really surprised about.
I edited some screenshots how it could look like.
With / without icon:
You could also add something to the dashboard…
I don’t want that the new TeamSpeak launcher becomes exactly like Discord, but showing which games your friends are currently playing is an essential feature to me.

I hope they’ll add it soon.

They could add a feature to turn it off in settings.

You didn’t look hard enough.

It may be handy for some, however if it gets approved then I think that this feature should come post-public release and not take up the beta/full release development time. In my opinion it doesn’t seem to fit as part of the core TeamSpeak functionality.

Would really like it, if this could get added to the roadmap!
I would like to know if it is in the developer’s plans to add some playing status sharing fund, the famous “rich presence” that has on discord today.
The best approach to this would definitely be to have the community maintain this list of games. I feel it would be possible to be able to fit all of this inside of the teamspeak client though, if the game is not found - allow the user to fill out a formal form, which will submit the details about the game. But Either that or do the same but would be stored locally or something like that.
I actually found this post as i was looking for Rich Presence, similiar to what discord does when someone listens to music. I feel if the teamspeak team provided a REST API, that would allow 3rd party apps like Spotify or Feishin or other music players to implement something like this. There would be no list to maintain for this one though.
As for steam there is a sinusbot script which is able to display all steam games. Should be able to reproduce this for the most common platforms like epic, ubisoft etc.
