Description :

Some of you may not know what Teamspeak is so ill quickly explain before i get to the download links and the how to setup guide .
Teamspeak is a Client/Server based software which allows you to be able to speak to a group of friends for free while playing on WoW for example .
The reason why im making this thread is simply because Teamspeak has never been mentioned here on the Bots and Programs section , even though its a very commonly used software in the World of Warcraft (most especially by large guilds) . And just in case you still dont understand what im talking about , here is a video of a raid that uses Teamspeak (its a famous video) :

I AGREE

Teamspeak is divided into two programs :

1 ) The server , its basicaly the heart of Teamspeak . You will need the server if you want to create your own Teamspeak channel or group .

2 ) The client , its used to connect to the server and allow you to talk with your friends .

If you wish to setup your own Teamspeak line then you will need both the server and the client . So now that you all know a bit about what Teamspeak is , ill get to the guide which explains exactly how to setup a new line step by step .

Just know that i did not write this guide that you are about to read , it was created by {nUg}DankRider from the Teamspeak official forums (i would have made a guide but it would have been pointless since somebody already wrote one) .

Ventrilo is way better than teamspeak

[issacobra]

Ventrilo is way better than teamspeak
/agree

LEEEEEROY JEEEEENKINS!!!!!
...atleast I got chicken...

[Lead4u2]

Only downside to TS is it doesnt announce the name of the player joining, other than that, quality, and ease of use is far superior than Ventrillo.

This thread is about Teamspeak , so lets leave it on Teamspeak .
But if you want a Ventrillo guide then i can allways look into it .

[WaddleFish]

Vent guide would be awesome, as it seems to be much more complicated than TS. This guide rocks anyway though! Great job! And Leeroy FTW. =P

Sorry, I'm bothered when people think they are smart; You arrogant person, it isn't " ...I aint chicken" it is " least I have chicken!"

the story was that he went and heated up his KFC in the microwave while they were discussing the plan for the first bit. Then he gets back thinking they are ready and waiting for him so he rushed in. Thats why he says " least I got chicken"
Good day sir.

Back to the point. Thanks for the guide dude, its realy thought out and well described, your a realy swell member. +rep!

[Neon Monkey]

um not to be putting my 2 cents in but it is clear as day in the last 2 secs he says "least i HAVE chicken" not "aint" not "got" he says HAVE so if your goign to argue over this then you should atleast try listening to what he says....blah dont you both feel dumb....now back on topic...TS sucks imho go vent (nice guide though)

If you use the correct codecs on TeamSpeak, the quality is the same if not better than Vent.
