[TS5/6] [Remote App] In game overlay for teamspeak 5 and 6

I created a simple in-game overlay that shows speaking clients for TeamSpeak 5/6. Maybe it will be useful for anyone.

InGame-Screen

Compatibility

  • Supports only windowed and fullscreen borderless applications, won’t work with exclusive fullscreen applications.
  • Shouldn’t interfere with any anti-cheat software but i can’t guarantee anything.
  • Currently it supports Windows, but I’m in the making of a new release that will support Linux.

Installation

  1. Download the latest version from the GitHub releases page.
  2. Run the installer.
  3. After installation, accept the connection request in the TeamSpeak client.
    Accept-Connection

Upcoming update

  • code cleanup and optimalization
  • position on screen and padding customization
  • overall app settings:
  • start at startup without creating shortcut
  • appearance customization

I have just tested it. The overlay does not work when talking on the new ts community servers. There should still be a way to change the displayed length of the names. Currently it also says ‘connected’ every 10 seconds.
I also did not get to the settings page and only edited it via the json.
Apart from that it works great, good work!

Hey! Thanks for feedback.

  • Settings page should be accessible via the system tray just right-click the icon and click Settings.
  • The community server issue is weird. I never had this problem and i was testing on a community server.

I expected this version to have some problems due to big changes, I will look into this and deploy a new update with fixes soon. If someone else has the same issues please use version 1.0.0 for now

New version of app is out!

Sorry for long silence but i had a lot work to do.

Changes:

  • Rewritten entire app in C++ with QT6 instead of JavaScript and Electron
  • Redesign of user bubble
  • Added settings. Users can change overlay position, padding, and opacity. (Settings can be accessed through app icon in the system tray)
  • Added option in tray to force reconnection to TeamSpeak API

Should work without major issues. But if someone find any please report through the GitHub issues page

hi. Does this overlay work with full-screen games, or only with windowed games?

Currently, only windowed and full-screen windowed aka borderless. May change in the future, but can’t guarantee that

Thanks i hope it works :sunglasses:

Oh, thank you very much!

I still haven’t figured out how to run in Linux.

Based on this program, it is currently not feasible to launch this program directly from Linux. However, there are various emulators available for Running programs, such as Win4Lin.

Awesome overlay! thanks for making. I have a suggestion, it would be really nice if you added a chat function too. Like chat bubbles bottom right or something when people chat. Thanks!

Hey. Thank you for making this app. I’m having a technical difficulty. I can’t get changes to save. The settings menu says I need to close the app for changes to work so I did. It didn’t specify which app (Teamspeak or the Overlay) so I tried both, one at a time, etc. Changes are not being saved. How do I address this?

Also, much like the built-in Discord overlay, it would be really nice to able to see everyone currently in my Teamspeak channel at all times and simply see their name light up when they’re speaking. Often times people come and go from the current voice channel and having a clear idea of who is presently in the channel is sometimes critical knowledge mid-game.

Also, many of use in-game fps and system monitoring software whose data readouts overlay the corners of our screens. I’m wondering if you could add the options to put the overlay in the right center and left center of the screen for this reason. Another reason is because many of us use Discord for general comms (the whole team) and Teamspeak for sub-comms (smaller sub teams within the larger team). Having Discord’s built-in overlay on the left center and your Teamspeak overlay on the right center would be a game-changer, especially if we also had constant visual of who is in the channel whether they’re talking or not, much like the Discord overlay.

Thank you for reading and considering and thank you again for making your app

It would be great news have it available for linux. It was one of the things I don’t have in discord linux and which one of the things do it myself hate that software for hat reason…I hope I can see teamspeak works properly to send discord to the hell.

Hey, sorry for long inactivity.
I’m currently working on linux release.
Experimental Release is available here: Release Experimental Linux Release · PandaDex/TeamSpeak-6-Overlay · GitHub

Currently i’m focusing on making Linux release stable and after that i will be adding new things.

If you find any issues please let me know via GitHub Issues

Hi.

I’m testing it on Debian 13 under Wayland and it seem is works properly by the moment. I keep you posted if I found some issue on it. Also I’m going to testing it in another distros too like Cachy OS.

I appreciate the effort to bring it to Linux.

Thank you so much

New Release

Change Log:

  • Changed way of storing config (moved from SQL to simple .cfg file)
  • Settings are now applied after save and don’t need app restart anymore
  • Redesigned bubble showing speaking client and messages
  • Experimental linux binaries

Here

Testing on Debian 13, wayland and Gnome no problem by the moment works perfect. Could de icons be modify to get them tiny or bigger? I think so you already though on how to change the avatar on them.

I’m going to replace them with actual avatars. Currently, it is disabled due to some issues. Also there will be more settings that will allow you to change font size, avatar size, background color, text color, toggle message/avatar displaying, etc.
