Reading the function description doesn´t equal the guidelines. The guidelines for taskbar button flashing can be found here.
Don’t flash the taskbar button if the only thing the user has to do is activate the program, read a message, or see a change in status.
The guidelines even say to use overlay icons instead. I think this would indeed be a useful alternative.
A lot of other messaging apps are using this already.
Thanks for replying, I can understand the choice here. Is there another way to address the issue I’m having? I get pretty focused when I work, but I would like to reply to people who directly message me asap because otherwise important things can go unaddressed for hours (poking me on TS5 doesn’t give me a persistent notification that I was poked either). Teamspeak 3 provides a way for me to see that someone has messaged me through the use of this flashing, and Discord’s solution for this is to update their icon, though I’m open to other options. I just want to be able to look somewhere on the screen after working for a few minutes and actively see that I have a message.
I hope TeamSpeak makes more use of the Windows notification system in the future. There is a lot of improvement right now, but it´s beta, so things aren´t final here 
Of course! I’m really glad teamspeak is improving so much, and I love the progress that’s being made. I just wanted to try helping the team find a way to help teamspeak 5 work for me, because I can’t really adopt it if it makes it harder for me to get messages, and that’d be a shame.
The Chat Service is working now…
But I can only add Friend’s by Server.
Is this forever or can i add later a Friend by Name?
Hey,
you can add friends by name, simply type the name in front of @tschat-1.teamspeak.com
Example: [email protected]
Okay, thanks can I try it with your Name?
Sure!
The chat system looks a bit like Matrix which is okay. Is there a way I can create my own server which hosts my chatrooms or integrate this with my Matrix and IRC servers?
I always get the error when adding contacts -
Failed to Add Contact (Code 3).
username@tschat-1.teamspeak.com
@Teamspeak, when can we expect a server update so that you can really host it yourself? An information whether this will even be the case and when or whether we can expect it would be nice.
It works fine, seems you actually have a typo, or that user has not been using the current beta version.
It is definitely Matrix. Unfortunately I have not had success using my TeamSpeak account to join a room on my own Matrix homeserver yet. Based on what was said in the original post of this thread, you will be able to host your own rooms on your own homeserver, join Matrix rooms all the same.
Specifically my issue so far is that homeserver isn’t able to find a key for the current TeamSpeak hosted homeserver, tschat-1.teamspeak.com, on matrix.org, and my server is unable to discover how to connect to the TeamSpeak hosted homeserver using /.well-known/matrix/server and it can’t be reached on port 8448 as is default, since the domain is using Cloudflare.
I think federations are currently not active so the tschat-1 won’t be accessible from the outside Matrix network, as far as I understood. Crossing fingers that it will be anytime soon
Yep that is what I have seen so far, that federation is not enabled yet. I am also hoping that it will be soon, and it shouldn’t be that far out.
I do not know what the TeamSpeak folks are using for their homeserver, whether it’s completely home grown, and so there is work required to implement it, or whether they’re using a popular homeserver implementation that is fully capable already, it just needs to be configured to publish its keys to matrix.org and it needs to be reachable by other homeservers looking to connect.
I could imagine in the future we will see Teamspeak server software with Matrix as the base for all chat functionality. If you don’t need voice and only text based chat you could as well install Synapse or anything else Matrix capable.
Or have the chat and voice functions split into two servers. The new REST API from Teamspeak server would be very interested for such cases. Basically have a Matrix server and use Teamspeak as a voice integration/bridge.
Flashing is on my todo list.
I completely agree with your argument, happened to me a couple of times as well when I was away, returned to my PC and missed messages from coworkers because the notifiaction only stays for a limited time (not sure, not specifiying a timeout so should be Windows default).
Personally I’d be ok with flashing only, that’s a) more prominent than an icon change and b) what I’m used to with other software, e.g. TS3 or Pidgin. But that’s details and can certainly be discussed. I’d suggest flashing first and then look at more possibile options later (or just stay with flashing only).
EDIT: Done, though Windows only for the moment
Hello, how did you get those good looking channel banners? 
I tried to manually slice the pic i want with photoshop but it just gets so stretched and bad looking 
I also tried to play with stretch and keep aspect ratio, but it just stays the same, thanks in advance
I made them myself (Long time ago)
You can find the psd source in my topic.
