Tags: Voice Chat

Tried & tested for nearly 25 years, we have a solution that fits everyone’s needs. TeamSpeak offers the ideal voice communication for gaming, education and training, internal business communication, and staying in touch with friends and family. Our primary focus is delivering a solution that is easy to use, with high security standards, excellent voice quality, and low system and bandwidth usage.

Why is it called TeamSpeak 6? What happened to 4 and 5? TeamSpeak 4 was rumored to be skipped due to Tetraphobia (avoidance of the number 4 due to it’s association with death in some East Asian cultures).

TeamSpeak 5 did release as a beta back in 2020, but as they continued adding features like screen sharing (and potentially due to the long development time of TeamSpeak 5 that cooled public attention before release), the next major release was named TeamSpeak 6.

inventories/homelab/group_vars/homelab.yml
teamspeak6_enabled: true
# If you're not running TeamSpeak 3, you may want to change the default port to TeamSpeak's standard port of 9987
# If you don't do this, you'll need to specify the port when connecting with your TeamSpeak client
teamspeak6_port: 9987

The first time you start the TeamSpeak 6 server, it will generate a random Server Query Admin Account password, api key, and ServerAdmin privilege key. Make sure you write these down! The Server Query Admin Account will let you manage the server remotely, and the ServerAdmin privilege key will let you make yourself the Server Admin when you connect with your TeamSpeak client.

By default, TeamSpeak 6 can be accessed at http://[your_server_ip]:9988 or https://teamspeak6.[your_domain].com:9988 if you have DNS access configured.

See the default configuration options for TeamSpeak 6 at roles/teamspeak6/defaults/main.yml. Add any overrides to your inventories/[your_inventory]/group_vars/homelab.yml file.
