TeamSpeak

Gamer chat platform

TeamSpeak is voice communication software designed for online gaming, allowing players to talk with teammates in real time through dedicated servers.

Popular in the 2000s and early 2010s before Discord largely displaced it, TeamSpeak remains used by some gaming communities and organizations that prefer its customizable server architecture: We used to run our own TeamSpeak server for raids.
