How to Join the TeamSpeak Server

A headset is ideal for TeamSpeak use.

TeamSpeak is communication software commonly used by video gamers. It is free to use and download for any nonprofit single use and provides superior sound quality. TeamSpeak supports advanced features that allow it to merge with many of your video games, such as three-dimensional audio and overlays. If users give you their address and ask you to join their TeamSpeak server, download the TeamSpeak client.

Instructions

1. Download the TeamSpeak client from the official website (see Resources).

2. Click "Run" on the "File Download" dialog screen.

3. Click "Next" on the "Welcome to the TeamSpeak Client Setup Wizard."

4. Press "I Agree" on the "License Agreement" dialog.

5. Click "Next" on the "Client Setup" screen.

6. Type the path where you would like to install TeamSpeak in the "Destination Folder" field, or leave at the default, and press "Next."

7. Press "Next" on the "Choose Configuration Location" dialog.

8. Press "Install." The game will now install. When finished, you will have an icon on your desktop.

9. Double-click the "TeamSpeak" client icon on your desktop.

10. Click "Settings" and then "Options."

11. Select "Capture" on the left side.

12. Select your preferred method of voice capture. "Push-To-Talk" means that you must push a button in order for everyone to hear you. Most servers prefer this, because it prevents your microphone from constantly causing chatter in the room. "Voice Activation Detection" will attempt to only activate your microphone when the volume is detected as being from your voice.

13. Press "Apply" and then "OK."

14. Click "Connections" and then "Connect."

15. Type the address you were given in the "Address" field. Create a nickname in the "Nickname" field.

16. Press "Connect."
