Voice & videos calls in contacts using P2P connections like screenshare?

Create/add a regular call to your contacts so that it’s like in a discord, so that you can just call your contact.

I would like see this being implemented on a future update. I get with the voice chat being used on servers is mostly the appeal, but that’s not always feasible as I tried to host a server, but none of my friends can join it. Maybe using P2P connections could be like Skype back in the day before MS butchered it and made it use servers.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll forward it to our team to discuss.

Why couldn’t your friends join?
Maybe you don’t have your ports open.

Sounds good. :+1:

Because I was hosting it on my PC, I haven’t able to figure out how to set it up on my UGreen NAS using Docker, yet. I’m using UGreenOS on it.

Plus, I’m kind of new hosting a server in Teamspeak.

Please, in the Group Chats section, after creating a text channel and clicking the “i” button, we should be able to select a person from the “Members” section and call that person without inviting other members to a voice call. There should also be a capacity limit for how many people can join. Finally, we should be able to lock the room to prevent others from joining. You added screen sharing; what are they supposed to do with that? If you do what I’ve suggested, you’ll surpass Discord! But of course, it needs to be free.

So there’s no voice call feature. To talk to each other, you connect to a TeamSpeak server. For one-on-one conversations, you can either create a private channel protected by a password

or access permissions,

or limit the maximum number of channel users to 2.

You can’t call them via a group chat, but you can still right-click to add someone as a contact

groupchat_add_contact

or open the private chat of an existing contact.

groupchat_open_private_chat


Well, in general, that would be possible; but the easiest approach is still to decide in advance whether everyone - or not everyone - can join the chat.

A very simple rule of thumb: Keep internal matters private AND make good conversations open to everyone.


Hahaha. Personally, I find that question really misleading.

Are you asking specifically why you’d want to share your screen in a group chat, or in general?

Well, general it is the same in both cases. You want to show the other users something on your screen; whether that’s in a private chat, on the server, or in a group chat doesn’t matter.

I didn’t mean it like that. What would they even do with screen sharing anyway? What’s important is voice and text, and there’s only text available. There should be some kind of limitation because of the automatic message correction feature, that’s why it was written like that. So this shouldn’t be there either; if you add it, you’ll surpass Discord. Please add the features I mentioned at the beginning.

This is blatant nonsense, and your proposal is so absurd that there are no words to describe it. If you’re not satisfied with what TeamSpeak currently offers, don’t turn it into a pathetic discord. The real value lies in what we currently see, not in your desires.

Of course I am notthere’s only text and screen sharing. In the group chats section, in the channel I created, how long can I message? If I want to play a game in the background, I won’t be able to talk, so how will I talk while playing? By messaging?

I don’t want to join the server; it throws me directly into voice chat.

You’re communicating with your people on a TeamSpeak server in a channel.

If you don’t want to talk to each other, you can type messages into the channel chat.

I apologize in advance for the long message. When I download the app and join a server, I’m immediately redirected to voice chat, and I couldn’t find anything to prevent me from leaving. So why don’t you add a voice chat section to the text channel in TS6 group chats? Don’t you want to make more money? When I’m bored and want to play a game, should I text or voice chat while playing? Because texting is cumbersome; I have to alt-tab to switch to the app. If I talk in in-game chat, everyone can see it. group chat section and then lock the chat. I would appreciate it if you added a voice chat feature to the text channel in group chats.

Don’t worry. The longer your answers are, the easier it is for me to get a handle on things.

I honestly don’t understand what you’re getting at.

The way I understand it: You want voice chat in a group chat.
Do you mean e.g. text channels and voice channels on same server (in between the servertree)?

A concrete example of how you envision this based on a specific scenario would really help.


Also, I don’t mean to be rude, but are you familiar with how TeamSpeak works and its basic concept?

When I log into the server, it immediately redirects me to voice chat. Yes, I want it to be there. In the server we created in the groups chats section, in the text channel.

This is not how TeamSpeak works. If you join a server, you automatically enter a channel.

Yea, I need to aggree @OLFMSQL.

That’s TeamSpeak’s thing. TeamSpeak servers are for voice communication. It offers channels to speak to each other.

In addition, on TeamSpeak servers, you can send messages within a channel.


Now that we’re finally on the same page about what this is all about, you want text channels in addition to voice channels.

I recommend that you read the most recent posts on this topic.

Based on the fact that some things have already been explored, this is the least we can provide at this point.

Well, there would also be the option to either create a channel with no talk power (like needed_talk_power 100) and make that the standard channel for each user connection, OR the server has such a channel and you make that as your default on the bookmark settings.

This way, nobody can talk there and you won’t be “redirected” to voice chat.

Either way, that’s how TS works.

This is my last message. Why aren’t you adding it? When I join the server, it throws me to voice chat. Couldn’t we do it like this: in the Teamspeak Groups chats section, in the text channel we open, like you added screen sharing, could you also add a voice feature? Something that allows us to select and lock specific people, etc.

Please understand that none of the people who have responded to you so far are actual staff members with the authority to make such decisions. They are simply members of the community sharing their opinions on your post and your feature request.

We have taken note of the growing number of new users coming to TeamSpeak from other platforms and have received many requests for direct 1-1 voice calls on TeamSpeak. While I cannot confirm or deny anything regarding this feature, I can assure you that we are aware of the numerous requests and that the topic is on our list for internal discussion.
