Hey everyone,

The Homebase release is around the corner, so we would like to invite you all to join us for a stress test on 2022-09-20T17:00:00Z .

While the team is hard at work in the background to ensure that Homebase will work as smoothly as possible once you all get to go hands-on with it, @Five_Alive would like to take the time and have a stress test with everyone that’s interested in joining us. Since we know how much you all love badges, we’ve decided to include a small but fancy reward for everyone that partakes…

What does this mean?

During the Homebase Stress Test, you will be led by TeamSpeak Staff to perform specific actions in your TeamSpeak Client, which will help us collect important data/Information regarding Homebase and how the client performs during a Homebase move.

What is Homebase?

TeamSpeak 5 Servers will give you the option to host your very own Homebase. Homebase is the Server where your chat account is created in. Nonetheless, you can still chat with other users that are located on other Homebases via federation.

Similar to a traditional TeamSpeak Voice Server, if you decide to host your own dedicated Homebase, this gives you complete control over not only your voice server but also your chats, and rooms which now gives you more and new ways to effectively manage your decentralized server, it’s security and privacy and how your community or team functions overall.

In the future, TeamSpeak Users will be able to connect to your TeamSpeak 5 Server and decide whether or not they want to join your Homebase and simultaneously host essentially all of their data at your Homebase.

Exclusive Badge

As mentioned above, there will be an Exclusive myTeamSpeak Badge for everyone that participates and fills out the form at the end of the stress test. Here’s a sneak preview:

Tutorial & Very Important Information

This is a step-by-step tutorial on what exact actions will be performed during the stress test. It is very important to follow the instructions given by TeamSpeak Staff to ensure the test goes according to our plan.

Preparation:

1. Create a new myTeamSpeak Account.
2. Download/Login to TeamSpeak 5 with your new Account.
3. Redeem the badge code MULTIPASS. This will unlock your global chat features.
4. Setup Chat and choose ‘myTeamSpeak’ as your Homebase.
5. Connect to ‘beta.voice.teamspeak.com’
6. Join the Stress Test Channel and wait for further instructions by TS-Staff

Please note: We highly recommend that you use a new myTeamSpeak account and not your main/day-to-day account. This process is not yet fully tested, so data loss and/or your account could be at risk.

Homebase Move:

1. Right-click the server name and select ‘Make Homebase’.
2. Press ‘Select’
3. Press ‘I’m Sure’
4. After you’ve done that, please wait for further instructions by TS-Staff.

Things We’ll Be Testing

In order for this to be tested properly, we will need to keep a note of our UUID & create a history before we move Homebase. This means we will need to:

1. Keep a note of your UUID
2. Add each other as a contact
3. Send a text based message to each other
4. Send an image to each other
5. Send a GIF to each other
6. Once we have generated a history, then we will all perform the Homebase move

Please note: With the text based message, image & GIF, we would recommend using the same one for each contact you reach out to. This will make it a lot easier for each individual to pinpoint when something is out of place or potentially missing. Keep these polite please

After this:

1. We will have a quick group discussion to see if any immediate concerns/issues have been spotted
2. We’ll check our UUID’s to see if this has remained the same or not
3. You will be directed by TS-Staff to fill out a form with your findings and also to add some details so we can apply your tester badge to your “main” account (We wouldn’t want to apply your new badge to your tester account unless you really want the badge here).

Closing Words

We hope to see you at the test a week today and thank you in advance for helping us to test this feature out. The data we will acquire from this will be really helpful and will help us to identity any concerns that may exist.

We are forced to maintenance our myTS services.

We have to disable the creation of new accounts, password reset and the ability to create a new recovery key in client.

There is no security issue going on. A service broke and accounts can get into a state where account encryption may be broken and recovering them after password reset is not possible.

We hope to get these running again within the next 24 hours.
We will update this thread when there is an update.

Welcome back! Here’s to another try at stress testing the Homebase feature!

This time, our Homebase Stress Test will take place on 2022-11-16T17:30:00Z

While the team is hard at work in the background to ensure that Homebase will work as smoothly as possible once you all get to go hands-on with it, @Five_Alive and I (@SYOX) would like to take the time and have a quick stress test with everyone that’s interested in joining us. Since we know how much you all love pixels next to your names, we’ve decided to include a small but fancy badge for everyone that partakes… more about the badge later on

We want to thank you all for being so patient as this process has taken a bit longer than expected. We’ve done some fixing and tuning around the Server and hope that this time everything will run as smoothly as butter, so please take a few minutes to join us if you’re interested! See ya!

Hey all

We’ve just released an update that allows TeamSpeak 3 Mobile Clients to connect to the new TeamSpeak 5 Servers. The update should be visible and ready to download for both iOS & Android Devices.

If you encounter any issues, please let us know.

Cheers!

• Feedback as always is welcome in this thread
  Issues that are not related to this update belong to their own thread.
• We suggest placing your wishes for upcoming releases in existing or new threads in the suggestion area instead of the release thread. We mention this because each update post will be closed after some days and the wish or suggestion could be lost.
• We allow ourselves to delete all the off-topic posts from this thread.

Thanks for all the feedback. We discussed everything and I’m trying to answer anything that came up.

Custom icons/banner will be available for homebases.
So that hosting these happens on own homebase server.

Chats stay in third column.

Any idea what to make it better here?

More space may need more scrolling and searching afterwards. We would not like change that.
But maybe separator / line as suggested from @Destr0rso may help here.

This wasn’t expected but can happen during an Alpha.
Are you sure you must start from scratch or only update the parts we did change.

Yes for banner and icons.

The problem here is that others use the search more often and will need it somewhere. That’s why we did choose the burger menu to offer all available points in one menu.

We will try out if a separator makes it better. But we don’t like to remove the category icons.

Hiding such main element which is often used is not what we want. Sorry.

Tnx Forwarded to our devs.

Nothing has changed for that point.
You had to open the info page in b70 as well or else you had no buttons to manage the server.

Also context menu on server activity or above server tree still exists. So there is no must have to open the info dialog at all.

We thought above that but decided against such animation.
If Theme author likes if for his theme we are fine with that.

It was needed.

We can not reproduce this.

Which operation system are you using?
How many screens are connected (resolution etc)?

Can you check that a placement.json exists and is written on a change?
On Windows you find that file under %AppData%\TeamSpeak\Default

This wasn’t on purpose. Sorry.
We assume a change needed for the upcoming mobile TS Chat client did that. We trying to revert this.

Beta 72 is here to replace it’s older faulty version.

The main changes are

• a crash fix people had very often.
• Linux user not being able to select an avatar or upload files (this may not work on all these different Linux desktop variants)

Here is the full change log

* Fixed a crash that some people randomly experienced when using their system
* Fixed Linux client not offering file dialogs
* Fixed Manage Server section being shown while editing the server
* Fixed room name not being shown when receiving an invite
* Fixed an issue that could result in a contact being on your contact list twice
* Added a warning to the QR Code that it is NOT to be shared

• There is no beta 72 for MacOS Users. We hope to bring beta 73 back to MacOS.
  We moved our whole build systems and had not planned to release a new version this year. Some parts in our new system can not be build yet.
• The QR code & mobile app can currently only be used by alpha users.
• Client GUI is blank? The client checks for modified files and when found file for UI is denied to be used. Please reinstall your client.
• Homebase / Chat setup will not work with new myTS accounts. Here you must install Beta 70 and finish the setup there. then you can update back to Beta 72

• Feedback as per always is welcome in this thread . Issues that are not related to this update belong to it’s own thread.

| Dear TeamSpeak Community,

We are quickly approaching the end of the year, and our team is putting on the final touches before the Christmas holidays. Your patience has been incredible, your feedback priceless and your loyalty to us is second to none. You give us the strength and motivation to reward you and ourselves with a new version of TeamSpeak in the new year and to steadily work on implementing your wishes and ideas as quickly as possible.

With the start of the new year, TeamSpeak (TS5) Open Beta is awaiting us along with a new TS Chat App. It will be possible to read and write in all channels at any given time, and there will be more options for moderating and to adjust settings. In addition, we are working on voice support for the TS Chat App and are going to implement screen sharing, which has been on everyone’s wish list including our own. Please have a little more patience. We sincerely apologize for the delay in bringing you this important feature.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a relaxing holiday season. Enjoy the gift giving and celebrate the season. Stay safe and enjoy the holidays.

Euer TeamSpeak Team

Hello again!
[Insert new Introduction here… wicked things and cool words, such wow]

What does this mean? 🤔

All in all, this is a small but sweet event that we want to host while you’re all waiting for the Open Beta to launch hopefully soon, giving you (our community) a chance to not only play with TS Staff but also get the chance to win some cool Badges. TeamSpeak Gameday may also develop into something bigger in the future, if you really like this idea and enough people participate, we would love to expand it to other fields.

Where and when? 📍

The second TeamSpeak Gameday will take place on our TeamSpeak (5) Beta Community Server on 2022-07-29T16:00:00Z, which can be reached at ‘beta.voice.teamspeak.com’

NOTE: The Beta Server can only be connected to by using the TeamSpeak (5) Clients at this moment. If you don’t have the TeamSpeak (5) Client yet, you can download it for FREE from our Website right here: TeamSpeak Downloads | TeamSpeak. You do NOT require Closed Beta Access to be able to connect to ANY TeamSpeak Servers, but if you would like to gain access you can simply use the Global Beta Code MULTIPASS which will grant you instant access to the Closed Beta.

What game will we be playing? 🕹️

Generally, we will opt for free-to-play games so that everyone has a chance to win the ‘Gameday Winner Badge’ or if they simply just want to join the game and have some fun. Our game of choice will be Fall Guys again (which recently became F2P on Epic Games), as it gives us an easy way to host custom lobbies for up to 60 players with no problems whatsoever.

If you don’t have Fall Guys yet, click on the image below, this will redirect you to the store page

What about the Badges? 👀

We all love Badges, we really do

With that being said, based on the feedback from our last Gameday, we decided to introduce the “Gameday Participant” Badge, which ANYONE can earn by simply playing an entire game from start to finish – (More Info in the Rules).

– This Badge will be awarded to those who win the crown (essentially win the game).

– This Badge will be given to everyone who at least participates in one game.

Event Ruleset 📑

• 1. To participate in the event, you must change your username on the server to match your in-game username. This means we can easily distribute the Gameday Badges to the winners and participants. If we can’t match up a user, then we can’t give out the Badge Code, so this is important. If you forget to update your in-game username on the server, just remember to do this in the next round.

• 2. Users can only win a maximum of 1 winners Badge & 1 participation Badge in total. You can still join games, however, if there are people in the lobby who hasn’t played yet, we’d appreciate it if everyone gets a turn.

• 3. If a winner wins again, the winners’ Badge will be passed on to the next non-winning participant who reaches the final round.

• 4. English only: We want to make sure that more participants can join in the conversations.

• 5. Please respect everyone, regardless of age or ability.

• 6. Under no circumstances are offensive usernames (TeamSpeak or In-Game) allowed.

• 7. Offensive or harmful messages against event participants or TS-Staff will not be tolerated and will result in a disqualification/kick or ban from the event and the TeamSpeak Server.

• 8. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy your time.

What about the ‘Event Badge’ 👀

Yes, yes… We know that badges are an essential part of TeamSpeak, so we’ve prepared something for those who take home the crown… BUT you have to compete in the battle before you can lay your eyes on the shiny prize! The badge will be awarded to those who win the crown (essentially win the game). We’ll note their myTeamSpeak usernames and assign the badge shortly after the end of the Gameday.

Event Ruleset 📑

1. English only: We want to make sure that more participants can join in the conversations.
2. Under no circumstances are offensive usernames (TeamSpeak or In-Game) allowed.
3. Please respect everyone, regardless of age or ability.
4. Offensive or harmful messages against event participants will not be tolerated and will result in a disqualification/kick or ban from the event and the TeamSpeak Server.
5. ONE badge per person. Even if the participant wins again, no second prize badge will be granted.
6. If a participant has already won once, that person can still participate in the game, provided that there is still a spot available and there is no one waiting in the lobby that hasn’t played yet.
7. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy your time.
