Some thoughts on TeamSpeak3
After playing around with the client and server, here are my thoughts.
Server
Setup is pretty simple for any Linux admin. May pose problems for inexperienced admins.
The latest update (beta2), required a manual SQL diff and subsequent manual insert to enable the new permissions. I’m guessing they’ll fix this in future releases.
Client
The client UI has been completely redesigned. The default sound notifications are kind of annoying. I switched to the TTS sound pack and turned 90% of them off.
General
It seems like the “clan server” option has been removed in favor of “subscribing” to channels. Basically, users aren’t visible unless you are subscribed to the channel they are in, or are in the channel. There’s a button and several menu options to subscribe to all channels.
The permission system is one of the most powerful I’ve seen; however, the documentation isn’t as complete as I’d like.
