How to Make a Teamspeak 2 Server
TeamSpeak 2 is a free communication program that allows multiple users to speak to each other over the Internet. As the name "TeamSpeak" implies, it is often used to allow teammates in online games to communicate with each other using headset microphones, instead of typing messages or relying on in-game voice options.
However, its use is not limited to online gaming, and it can be used in any situation that requires simultaneous conversation with people in different locations, such as during teleconferences. Before TeamSpeak 2 can be used, though, you'll need to create a server to connect to.
