First, I want to make it completely clear that my last message, and any of my past messages, were not meant to be an attack on @SYOX , @revide , or anyone from the TeamSpeak Staff.
I just clearly stated my disappointment regarding the progress. I will try to explain my point of view, and I hope you will understand my side.
Why We Moved from TeamSpeak
First of all, I have used TeamSpeak since 2006 when I played my first FPS game, WarRock. We self-hosted a TeamSpeak 2 server because Skype took up too many resources, and my computer could only handle TeamSpeak. We got used to it. Years later, TeamSpeak 3 came out, and we all enjoyed the features it delivered over the years.
Around 2017, Discord came along. It initially had many issues, none of my friends used it, and many of us hated it. I’m still not a big fan of it, but it does have many more features that make the experience with friends better—I cannot lie about that.
A year ago, some of us were still using TeamSpeak 3 and TeamSpeak 5. A few friends tried to convince us to move to Discord, so we would talk on TS and use Discord only for screen sharing. Over the years, Discord improved, and my friends started to like it more and more. Because of nostalgia, a few of us still forced 80% of our friends to stay on TeamSpeak. But at a certain point, we couldn’t force them to keep using a platform that couldn’t deliver what the other one had.
For example, most of our friends are over 30, have families, and spend a lot of time in their cars or outside; we can’t always sit behind a PC to talk. The biggest disadvantage is the mobile app. The mobile apps are obsolete, as I wrote above, and don’t work well with car Bluetooth (especially the Android one). The chat is not as rich as on Discord, and the biggest dealbreaker is that you can’t share video or turn on your IRL camera.
At that point, I couldn’t keep pushing TeamSpeak because people couldn’t use it properly with their Samsung Earbuds and other devices. Eventually, only a few of us stayed on TeamSpeak while the rest moved to Discord, so we all had to make the switch. Screenshare on TeamSpeak didn’t deliver what we expected and nobody wanted to used it, that’s I abandon long history of my TeamSpeak server.
I’m still a fan of self-hosted solutions. I would be the first one to pay for a server license, no matter the cost, if it could deliver good features and performance. I was talking with @revide privately and explained that my TeamSpeak 6 screen sharing still doesn’t work as it should; after a certain time, voices become robotic and the stream freezes. That’s why I was looking forward to P2S so much.
What Do I Miss the Most?
As I have written many times before, P2S was highly requested. I read on the forums that it was released in alpha in December 2025, and I was optimistic that we could expect a full release within two months. However, four months have passed, and as far as I can see, we are still not close. Try to understand my last message, after chat being upgraded it made me a lil disappointed because there are core most wanted features which don’t work 100% as it should and I expected in next patches to be significantly improved.
I understand that the team is small, but communication is something I really miss from TeamSpeak. It would be great if you could release any info regarding the mobile apps, self-hosted chat, or when you expect P2S to be released. I understand that if development isn’t going smoothly, you don’t like to give specific dates, but we are all adults and we would understand. The biggest problem is that we get a TeamSpeak update, followed by three months of absolute silence. We really don’t know what’s coming next—whether we’re going to see a message saying the project is abandoned, or if the team is working hard behind the scenes…
Please try to understand me and others who write messages like this. We really don’t want to create a bad mood, but we are just feeling disappointed.
I want to repeat once again that I know this is not @revide’s fault, nor @SYOX . The team is small, and the slow development is a management issue. I might be wrong, but it looks like @revide is working alone on the client for Mac and Windows, which is crazy.
Considering all the pressure on the TeamSpeak brand, the number of pro players who have used this program, and its amazing history—it’s all resting on the shoulders of just a few people. Huge respect to all the guys who work on this. I support and respect you all.
That’s all from me. All the best.
