Chookes 965 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Can anyone explain the benefits of Teamspeak over Skype? I like using Skype. Easy to use, clear and free. What does Teamspeak give me that would make me use that over it? Diddums is having a hissy fit any time says Skype so I might stick to Skype for this very reason.

Just Cal 461 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've used it and haven't noticed much difference. Only problem was that no one was online........That might explain it xD Expand Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/263-teamspeak/#findComment-5766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,456 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've had less issues with people dropping out of TeamSpeak as opposed to Skype, but other than that... I don't see that big of a difference. I guess TS is supposed to be better for larger parties.

Diddums 4,350 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Teamspeak has doors that are always open. There's no adding people to calls, no worrying if people are online, no having to call people, no adding people to your list, nothing. Download TS, get the IP adress, type it in and voila. Jump in. Think of it as a chatroom with voice. It's also much better for larger parties, and is easier to record.

tronic44 3,642 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Oooo google hangouts is a good one! I like the idea of teamspeak, if it just means that we can dive into a party/lobby/group (don't know what they call em) I was on skype last night with josh and matt and it all worked perfectly fine, i've saved them as a group so i can ring groups instead of individual people. If they're not on then it doesnt ring but will call everyone else. I've only used google when speaking to my missus and that worked fine but it was only with one person, so i don't really have any pros or cons.

BO7H B4RRELS 2,456 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Dave's right, the biggest advantage is no invites, it's just a voice chat room. Just jump in and you're there. Don't need to worry about invites, adding people to friend's lists, etc. Jsin, I've never used Google Hangouts, I've never even heard of it.

BO7H B4RRELS 2,456 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I thought so too at first, but it's not bad at all. Add that IP and then scroll all the way down until you see the Forever Gaming room. Click it and you're in.

tronic44 3,642 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Teamspeak's much better than skype, just for the sake of being able to duck in and out without having to invite people. I strongly suggest people getting it! Does anyone know a decent program for recording voice through teamspeak or can the software already record? I could look it up but figured i'd ask here first.
