Usage
This section addresses various features of Teamspeak3.
Installing a Sound Pack
Sound packs can be found on the
myTeamspeak website.
They are often available as a .ts3_soundpack
file.
This file is similar to a .zip
archive and can be unpacked the same way.
Afterwards the folder containing the audio files (.wav
files) needs to be inserted into the sound
folder of teamspeak.
For Teamspeak3 on Linux systems this folder can be found at
/opt/teamspeak3/sound
.
For Teamspeak5 on Linux the folder is available at /opt/teamspeak/html/client_ui/sound
.
Following this the sound pack is available after the next (re-)start of teamspeak.
Setting Up a Music Bot
For Teamspeak there are various bots capable of playing music. The following is a list of bots featured in this wiki that can do this.
- Sinusbot is a self-hosted bot for Teamspeak that can play music and sounds. It's closed-source and free of charge. It also features Discord support.
Channel Visibility
As explained by guisinho_DBR on the Teamspeak forums there is no way to hide a channel completely from view. It is however possible to set the subscription and description view power of a channel to a high value. This will permit only users with higher powers to see who is connected to the channel and view the description of a channel.
