What is TeamSpeak
TeamSpeak is a proprietary Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) application for audio communication between users on a chat channel, much like a telephone conference call. Users typically use a microphone enabled headset. The client software connects to a TeamSpeak server of the user's choice, from which the user may join voice channels.
Many gaming communities, as well as organizations such as NASA, Boeing, and Lock Martin, utilize TeamSpeak.
TeamSpeak 5 is currently in a closed beta, learn more.
