As of today, Triton CI & Associates - the official sales & licensing partner of TeamSpeak - provides two new pages on their website. The first page called Licensed NPOs contains a list of all properly licensed Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs), which have been granted a special license that allows them to host more than 10 TeamSpeak servers at a time and between 1000 to 5000 slots total.

Probably the most exciting feature is the new Licensed IP Validation page. If you suspect that a TeamSpeak 2 server is being hosted illegally, you can use the script  to verify if an IP address is properly licensed. Due to security and performance reasons, you are limited to 10 searches every 5 minutes.

Update - 09 April 2007

We're happy to announce that the first official TS3 FAQ has been opened on the official TeamSpeak website. Besides the usual questions about TS3's release date and voice quality, the FAQ section features some interesting factsabout backward compatibility and migration from TeamSpeak 2 to TeamSpeak 3.

The most important information is TeamSpeak 3 will in no way be compatible to TeamSpeak 2 beacuse the complete core and the protocol itself have been completely re-engineered and the TeamSpeak 3 server introduces a new database structure. The developers intend to provide migration tools to convert basic information such as a servers name, the welcome message, channel data and password settings.

Currently the FAQ section contains 8 entries. If you're interested in reading all of them, please check the official TeamSpeak website.

So far, it's been an exciting weekend for the TeamSpeak community in Germany. After yesterday's interview in the buffed.de podcast, TeamSpeak had a second appearance in the media. Today, GIGA introduced several voice communication software solutions in the latest episode of GIGA eSports. Our good friend ginger|HFD was invited to the show to talk with the host Michael 'riCo' Bister about Ventrilo, Shockvoice, Mumble and last but not least TeamSpeak 2. In addition, the host had a short telephone interview with one of the TeamSpeak 3 developers - Peter Kirk.

In case you've missed the show or just want to watch it over and over again, you'll find a high quality version in GIGA's VoD (Video on Demand) section. We've also uploaded an 11 minute-long video of the presentation to our download server. The link can be found in our forums.

Besides some MMO topics related to World of WarCraft, The Lord of the Rings Online and Mythos, the episode contains an interessting interview with the two lead developers of TeamSpeak 3 - Ralf Ludwig and Peter Kirk.

The host is asking his two guests about TS3's voice quality and latency, the built-in denoiser, 5.1 surround sound capabilites and the Tabbed Voice-Comming feature. The interview starts at the end of the official cast (after 68 minutes and 40 seconds to be exact).

As we begin the new year, Planet TeamSpeak welcomes you to 2008. We hope you had some wonderful holidays.

The new year started with a bang for TeamSpeak Systems. On December 17th, 2007, the TeamSpeak 2 client received the Winload.de Award 2007 for being last year's most downloaded Freeware application. With more than 998.988 downloads in just over a year, the TeamSpeak 2 client has left other popular software like BearShare and Apple's QuickTime Player far behind.

Congratulations to everyone on the hard-working, creative TeamSpeak development team!

Another year has almost passed. To all our community members and visitors, both old and new, we extend our best wishes for the holidays, and a warm invitation to join us again in 2008. In addition, we are happy to announce our plans for the new year. 

It's needless to say that we constantly work hard to improve our existing applications such as the TS Admin-Client, the TS2PerlMod, the TeamSpeak 2 Anti-Flood Daemon and the TeamSpeak 2 Webmanager (also known as T2Web). Beside all of this, we have many ideas for new projects. Probably the most exiting project is code named Optimus - a fully featured web-based management solution for TeamSpeak servers which will hopefully set some new standards. We'll publish a limited set of features and a full roadmap soon.

Currently, we are working on a fresh new design for our website which will be up in early 2008. As you can see, exciting things are on the Planet TeamSpeak horizon.

Enjoy the holidays and stay tuned for future updates!

Today, we've reactivated our Code Snippets page which we had to disable a few months ago due to the high rate of pastebin spamming. The Code Snippets page allows you to upload your source code to share it with other members of the community.

Please report any bugs or unusual behaviour in our forums or contact us via email.

We at Planet TeamSpeak are happy to announce the availability of a new website dedicated to TeamSpeak. The project called TSF (TeamSpeak France) was started by Bloody-wave - one of our community members and is intended to be a first resource for the french TeamSpeak community.

On the TeamSpeak France website, you'll find the latest news related to TeamSpeak and french versions of various third party applications and scripts. As a special feature, TeamSpeak France is also providing translated versions of the TeamSpeak 2 Connection Test and TeamSpeak 2 Backup Utility websites.
