| What is TeamSpeak 2?
TeamSpeak is an application which allows its users to talk
to each other over the internet and basically was designed
to run in the background of online games. The voice quality
and hereby the bandwidth usage is configurable and can be
low for modem users or as good as normal phone calls for better
connections. Still the client's maximum bandwidth won't exceed
25.9 KBit/s (=3.3 KB/s) upstream.
Also TeamSpeak uses as little latency as possible, which makes
TeamSpeak one of the best online gaming communication programs.
TeamSpeak has a lot more features than these basics, but even
unexperienced users don't have to be scared. As TeamSpeak
is divided into a server and a client application, advanced
users can set up a TeamSpeak server, which is so to say the
meeting point for the clients. This means that beginners can
just fire up the client, connect to a server and talk to their
friends. After the first small steps they will discover a
whole variety of features that give TeamSpeak a high rating
when it comes to voice chat tools as well.
But one of TeamSpeak's largest advantages is: TeamSpeak is
a cross-platform voice communication tool. This means that
client and server are available for Windows as well as for
Linux. It doesn't matter which operating system you use any
longer, you can talk "across the border". And yes,
special greetings to the large MAC community, a MAC version
of TeamSpeak is planned already.
