Time to clear this up - TeamSpeak 6 beta

1. No Updates, No Bug Fixes

It’s been over 3 months now without a single client update. There are still known minor bugs reported by users — UI glitches, connection hiccups, small annoying issues that could be fixed in days if there was any active development. But instead? Silence. No communication, no patches, nothing.

Yes, that’s true, not much happens on the outside or you don’t notice much. There was a small update post a month ago. Things are progressing with the client and screenshare. The minor bugs were probably so small or only from a small number of users that it was not considered necessary to bring it as a hotfix. Or there was no proper way how to fix it yet. You’re probably underestimating the size of the TeamSpeak team considerably, it’s just not possible to keep pushing out updates. For communication it is absolutely understandable.

2. Where Are The Server Files?

We’ve been hearing for years about how TeamSpeak 6 will be a fully functional ecosystem. But how is it even possible that we still don’t have server files for TS6? How are people supposed to test or properly use the client when there’s no dedicated TS6 server software available? Are we supposed to wait another year? Or maybe never?

Everyone is waiting for the server files, including me. A lot of bugs reported by the users on the communities were or still have to be fixed before the files can be released.
I also hope that the servers will be released early as alpha/beta files as mentioned in this post:

@SYOX

We know many of you are eager to get your hands on the server and start self-hosting, but the server files are not ready yet. We’re holding internal discussions about the possibility of releasing an early access or beta version. However, we want to be transparent about the current challenges the server is facing as we work on these improvements. We appreciate your patience and support.

3. Mobile Apps - Just Another Promise?

At one point, it was mentioned that mobile apps are supposed to be in development. But honestly, does anyone really believe that right now? There is absolutely no sign of progress, no screenshots, no beta signups, no status reports — nothing. It feels like “mobile app development” is just on a slide in some presentation — a plan with no real execution behind it.

I would also like nothing more than a new, good mobile app and wonder why TeamSpeak doesn’t prioritise it more. Of course the desktop version is still more important, but in 2025 an app is also a must have.

Is TeamSpeak 6 Becoming Vaporware?

This whole situation feels like a copy-paste from the past. Lack of communication, lack of transparency, no clear roadmap, and users left completely in the dark. This is exactly what killed momentum for TeamSpeak in the first place when Discord took over the market.

We were promised a new era with TS6. Right now, it looks like the project is slowly dying or becoming irrelevant before it’s even finished.

Is anyone else here still having hope for this project? Because from what I’m seeing — no updates, no server files, no mobile development progress — it looks like history is just repeating itself.

I’m confident about the future of TeamSpeak in 2025 if things like the server files and finished screenshare are ready this year. TeamSpeak has always been different, also in terms of speed and communication. Is it good? No. Can we do much about it? Not really. I’m just glad that there is a solid alternative that is slowly improving over the years.
