Switching back to teamspeak

After 4 Years of using discord I consider switching back to ts but there are some points that need to be fulfilled for us to switch as it costs much persuation for some of my friends to switch:

  1. as our test server ist running I can hear typing and clicking of the users even though we all enabled typing attentuation as well as noise reduction. Is there a fix for this?
  2. we need permanent chat channels. Is there any possibility to get those?
  3. Am I able to set permissions so that one specific group can join a channel and another group not? Talk power doesn’t work I think as I want that only one group can join a server
  4. Does teamspeak still force users to have an account?
  5. is there finally a way to host own matrix instances as I want so set my own download/upload limits and custom emojis
  6. Is there a soundboard in ts6?

Thanks in advance

1 - Enable Hybrid in your settings and make sure that the voice level target is high enough to not trigger during key strokes

3 - How to restrict channel access (aka user join a specific channel)

4 - With the current state of the TS6 beta, yes


And no to point 2, 5[1] & 6


  1. Matrix is no longer used for channel chats & a custom instance is not supported in the global chat ↩︎

  1. doesn’t fix it as it’s just a problem while my friends and I speak

  2. Maybe I didn’t explain it right, but that’s not what I meant. I’m familiar with the old permission system, but it doesn’t allow, for example, a GTA group to be prevented from joining a CS channel, while a CS group can join the CS channel but not the GTA channel. Unfortunately, ts6 sucks in this regard.

  3. that’s the only thing we can ignore but it doesn’t demonstrates teamspeaks focus on privacy..

Very sad that ts doesn’t support my points 2, 5 and 6 and that it supposedly ditch matrix.

With that said teamspeak isn’t close to be an alternative to discord atm unfortunately, even though I hoped so. It’s just a huge downgrade and even lacks on privacy which it was known for in the past. I hope there’s a chance that teamspeak doesn’t suck that hard in 2027
