A Total Newbie's Guide to Using TeamSpeak 3
Introduction
TeamSpeak 3 is a voice communications (voice comms) tool for real time voice chat over the internet. This is sometimes referred to as voice over IP (VOIP).
It is designed for people to be able to chat with each other while playing a game. This takes team based games to a whole new level as you are able to quickly issue orders and report incidents without having to stop and type your message.
This guide will cover:
- Getting the TeamSpeak software.
- Setting up and connecting to a server
This guide is not meant to be a complete guide to using TeamSpeak. If you want more information, then look at the FAQ section of the TeamSpeak website: www.teamspeak.com
Step 1 – Getting the Software
Visit the download page
Assuming you are running a version of Microsoft Windows, you will need 'TS3 Client' 32 or 64 bit. TeamSpeak is completely freeware, so there is nothing to pay.
Once the software has downloaded, run the executable and follow the installation instructions. Once it is installed it might be useful to place a shortcut on the desktop (if it hasn't already) or even on the 'Quick Launch' bar. This is entirely up to you.
