TeamSpeak for Windows

Quick summary

TeamSpeak Server is an extension for the TeamSpeak client that lets you run your own voice server over the Internet. While many public servers are available, hosting a private instance gives you more control and improved privacy for conversations with friends.

How it runs and how you use it

The server is managed entirely through a web control panel, keeping administration straightforward. After you start the program, a new icon appears in the system tray for quick access to the server dashboard. Configuration settings are grouped into sections and can be adjusted with a few clicks. If you need guidance, an extensive built-in help system explains the available features.

Safety and resource footprint

Access to the web interface is secured by password protection to prevent unauthorized logins. The server is also lightweight — it uses minimal CPU and RAM — so it won’t noticeably affect most systems.

Administrative capabilities

• Assign permissions to channels and individual users to control who can do what.
• Remove or block participants when necessary (kick and ban functions).
• Create and manage channels and user accounts for your community.

All changes are applied immediately from the web interface.

Live statistics and usage information

There is a monitoring area where you can view real-time server statistics, such as the number of connected users and current bandwidth usage.

Alternatives

• Disco Simulator (paid)
• Other public TeamSpeak servers and hosted voice solutions

Important update

A new release — TeamSpeak 3 Server Beta 25 — was published to fix a security vulnerability and a crash exploit. Please update your servers promptly to protect them.
