| Can I connect to a TeamSpeak 2 server using the TeamSpeak 3 client or vice versa?
No. TeamSpeak 2 and TeamSpeak 3 are not compatible with one another at all. So a TeamSpeak 2 client can only connect to a TeamSpeak 2 server, and a TeamSpeak 3 client can only connect to a TeamSpeak 3 server.
How does TeamSpeak 3 user authentication work?
A user login name and password like in TeamSpeak 2 do no longer exist. Instead TeamSpeak 3 uses a public/private key mechanism where each user is assigned a unique identifier. This is your "key" to the server and all permissions are bound to this unique identifier. The private key is stored on your computer and not shown anywhere in the client. This private key must be kept secret. The public key, shown in many places in the client, can be given to other users to identify yourself. If you lose your private key, your user account is lost and cannot be recovered. If anyone is asking you for your private key, he is trying to cheat you. Neither TeamSpeak Systems GmbH nor Triton CI & Associates, Inc. will ever ask for your private key.
There is a password field in the connection and bookmark dialogs. But I read TeamSpeak 3 does not use passwords?
The password field specifies the optional server password. This is the same password for every user on this server and has nothing to do with user authentication.
Does TeamSpeak 3 offer text-to-speech (TTS)? If so, how do I use it?
We offer three default soundpacks:
1) Spoken text from wave files (default)
2) Spoken text via TTS
3) Silence
For TTS you need to switch to the "Default Speech" soundpack via Settings > Options > Notifications.
I don't like the default soundpack, or I'm looking for additional skins, plugins, language support, or other customization options. Where can I find these?
Our TeamSpeak 3 communities have already begun to create custom skins, plugins, soundpacks, as well as scripts and other addons. Please visit the TeamSpeak 3 Customization forum for details.
How do I move my unique identity to another computer or create a backup?
You can export an identity in the identity manager dialog in the TeamSpeak 3 client. This file can then be moved to another computer and be imported in the identity manager there, or serve as a backup file in case your TeamSpeak 3 client configuration directory is ever lost or destroyed.
Is it possible to run multiple TeamSpeak 3 client applications?
Yes. Although keep in mind TeamSpeak 3 supports connecting to multiple TeamSpeak 3 servers at once via its native "tabs" (similar to tabbed web browsing). However, if you want to start multiple TeamSpeak 3 clients, simply launch the TeamSpeak 3 client with the "-nosingleinstance" commandline parameter.
I installed the client but the plugins are not activated. How do I activate them?
You need to activate plugins manually since by default all plugins are deactivated. To activate plugins go to Settings > Plugins and enable the plugin you want to use.
When I connect to a server (and particularly a heavily populated one) the client provides too many spoken notifications about users joining or leaving. This is annoying. How do I turn them off?
Go into Options > Notifications. Find the specific notifications you want to disable and uncheck the X box. Press Ok or Apply. Alternatively, you can select the "Sounds deactivated" soundpack for complete silence. We tried to make this as customizable as possible, so you can decide for yourself to listen to all sounds, none or only selected ones.
The TeamSpeak 3 client application has crashed! How can I help?
You will find a crash dump in your Documents (Vista/Windows 7) or My Files (XP) folder. This can help the developers to find the reason for the problem. Please post this dump file in our forums and include a description of what exactly you did when the problem occured. This may help us find and fix the issue.
How does the ban system work?
Clients can be banned by any combination of IP, username (including regular expressions) and unique identifier.
Where is text-to-speech (TTS) on Linux?
At this time TTS is only supported for Windows and Mac OS X. On Linux you can use the spoken texts from wave files.
