How to Check a TeamSpeak Server
TeamSpeak is a popular service that allows players of PC games to communicate using their voices in real time. This communication helps the players to work as a team or exchange banter with opponents, all while keeping their hands free to use their keyboards and mice. In order to use TeamSpeak, players must connect to a TeamSpeak server. If you are having problems connecting to the server, checking the server to see if it is available should be the first step in discovering whether your problems are at the server level or if they are on your computer.

View the results of the test once the script has finished running. Positive results indicate that the TeamSpeak server is running and that the script was able to connect to it; negative results indicate that the server is not running. Mixed results means that the server is running, but there are problems that are interfering with a full connection.
