There’s currently support for JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF.
It would be really nice if you could also add AVIF and JPEGXL for Images, and MP4, WebM, and MKV for video (more specifically, H.264, VP9, and AV1 Video, H.265 can be omitted due to licensing shenanigans)
While uncommon, support for animated PNG, WebP, AVIF, and JXL would also be appreciated.
Support for newer formats is a sore spot for Discord and this could be a good oppurtunity to beat them to the punch, plus it’s a decent band-aid to the small file size limit xp
The Teamspeak client does not yet support video embeds. You can only use the plugin here: [Plugin] BetterChat v3.0.1
which supports most formats, but not yet mp4!
In Discord, when you drag and drop an image into a chat to share with others, it displays elegantly as an in-line thumbnail for easy viewing. In TS6, from what I can tell, this isn’t always the case and users need to download the image first.
Videos are especially less-than-elegant, showing no thumbnail at all. Other rich text/voice chat services almost always show them as in-line viewable clips.
Are there plans for this in TS6? I think this would go a long ways, it’s the first thing my friends/new TS converts gripe about with the text chat!
It seems that an add-on has been created with these goals in mind already, though it’d be really nice to see them included by default!
When it comes to video playback inside the client this is a bit tricky, as for example both .mp3 and .mp4 use patented technologies, and would require a license.
Sorry it took me a while to get back to this. Changed the setting and showed my pals; is this on or off my default?
Makes sense with the video embed, licensing can be a pain. Thanks for the info!
