TeamSpeak 6 Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the TeamSpeak 6 questions that come up most often when you are setting up a client, server or community.
What is TeamSpeak 6?
TeamSpeak 6 is the newer generation of the TeamSpeak voice and community platform. The current server software is still presented by TeamSpeak as beta software, so some functionality can change before a stable release.
Can I self-host a TeamSpeak 6 server?
Yes. TeamSpeak publishes TeamSpeak 6 Server software and official self-hosting instructions. You can run the server directly on supported systems or use the official Docker image.
What is the easiest way to install a TS6 server?
For most Linux VPS setups, Docker is a convenient place to start. The server stays in its own container and its data can live in a persistent volume, which makes updates and restarts easier to manage.
Which ports does a TeamSpeak 6 server use?
The official examples use UDP 9987 for voice and TCP 30033 for file transfer. Web Query can optionally use TCP 10080. Always check current configuration documentation if you change defaults.
Can a TeamSpeak 3 license be used on TeamSpeak 6?
The current TeamSpeak 6 beta documentation says TeamSpeak 3 Server licenses are not compatible with TeamSpeak 6 Server.
How many slots does the TeamSpeak 6 beta server include?
The official GitHub README currently describes a 32-slot beta license during the evaluation period. Licensing and pricing can change, so confirm this in the official repository before making hosting plans.
Can TeamSpeak 3 clients connect to a TeamSpeak 6 server?
Yes, with the server configured for it. TeamSpeak's support documentation says TeamSpeak 6, TS3 and app users can connect to the same server, although the features each person sees still depend on the client they are using.
How do I make my TeamSpeak server address easier to remember?
Use a hostname instead of handing everyone an IP address and port. A name such as yourclan.teamspeak6.com is easier to post, remember and keep the same if the server moves later.
Where can I download TeamSpeak 6?
Use TeamSpeak's official downloads page for current client downloads and the official TeamSpeak 6 Server repository for server resources.
Is TeamSpeak6.com an official TeamSpeak website?
No. TeamSpeak6.com is an independent website and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by TeamSpeak Systems GmbH.
