Howdy,

You have all been waiting for it, so we’re here to deliver! ;D

Overall, we are still in preparation for the open beta, so our main focus is still on fixing bugs and improving the user experience.

One important improvement as an example is AGC for Playback. With beta 68 some user experienced a loud noise from other users when they started talking after being quiet for a while.

We also improved how encryption in chat room works. In best case you should not notice any difference.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to update this topic with a whole new post so everything is up to date. We will continue to update this post when there is new wave releases, or if there is new updates to inform you of.

How do we access the all new TeamSpeak client?

Technically everyone can right now! You can download the new client from teamspeak.com or the Windows 10/11 Windows store. This would be missing the closed beta/global chat features, but you can request access to the additional features by visiting: beta.teamspeak.com and by joining the waitlist.

I’ve registered via beta.teamspeak.com. When will we gain access to the closed beta/global chat features?

Over the next few weeks we will be letting in new testers every single day so we are really ramping things up.

How can I check if I have access to the closed beta/global chat features or not?

You can either:

1. Simply see if the options are now available to you on the new client.
2. Check this on myteamspeak.com and review your badges after you login.
3. If you’re on TS3: Tools → Options → myTeamSpeak → Configure Badges → This should show you every badge that you have.

I have found a bug/have an idea for the new TeamSpeak client. How can I share this?

My best suggestion would be to leave your feedback on community.teamspeak.com . We have several areas here which makes it easier for the team to locate current or new issues, or indeed share ideas about the future of the client. My top tip however would be to use the search function in the forums to see if this has already been reported or raised before. If you find a matching forum post, you can then add to this specific topic with your own experience/thoughts. When we release a new update for the closed beta, it might be better in some cases to report your findings under those specific posts which normally appears in the announcements area of the forums.

I’ve changed my TeamSpeak account email address after I registered for the closed beta/global chat features. Will I still gain access to the closed beta/global chat features?

If you have changed your myTS email address since registering for access to the closed beta/global chat features, please contact us either via DM here or via our social media channels for more help.

Can you share what position I am in the closed beta/global chat features registration queue? Are you able to share how many invites are sent out per wave?

No we can’t, but we can guarantee that everyone who has signed up for the closed beta/global chat features registration will 100% receive access and this will be in date order as mentioned above.

Hi everyone!

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

Dear Beta Testers,

In preparation for the Open Beta, we will be resetting our chat services (which will affect rooms and contacts) on February 1st, 2022. On this date, every contact and room will be erased from the system. Please make sure to inform your community and friends about it.

Overall, we’re doing this because we are upgrading our infrastructure in preparation for a lot of new things that we will be unveiling over time.

We are going to make sure to update this post as time goes on in case there are changes or important information that needs to be updated.

See you on the other side!

Hi ho,
Today we have released beta 65 and this update adds the ability to encrypt chats with your contacts.

For now this does not happen automatically and only contacts can be encrypted. In later versions, private rooms and contacts will be encrypted automatically.

* Added ability to encrypt private chats with other contacts
* Fixed editing the default channel on the server without making any changes

##### Information

* Encryption can be enabled in the context menu of a contact. If you experience issues with encrypted chats please let us know and provide log files. Remove a contact and add them again (and don't enable encryption again) to resolve issues in the meantime.

… to wait 1-2 days with encryption and give your contacts a chance to update their client or else their older beta client can’t encrypt your messages.

• Encryption was originally added in July, but was only enabled for Alpha Testers and Employees, so it could be that some of your contacts are encrypted already and you never noticed it.
• Wait a minute?!? So it was added in previous versions already, but the old client can not decrypt my messages? Yes we made a drastic and required change to encryption that the older client does not understand.
• The encryption key(s) are synced to your myTS account. The key has the same AES encryption as the rest of the synced part. This means we do not know your key and it will be lost on password reset without the recovery key.
• After a password reset without recovery key (Fallback), encrypted chats that are not in cache already can not be decrypted from your client. In addition to the myTS key cache there is an additional process to share a room key via the messenger protocol. But this requires a online contact that has the required key.
• For contacts that have been added more than a year ago, encryption may fail because you lack permissions. To fix this your contact can start the encryption or you re add the contact and both get admin.

Hello

You find it in the drop down menu which becomes active as soon you connect to one server.

* Fixed unread counter not appearing for channel chat

* Added use privilege key option again which went AWOL
* Added separation line below audio test record option
* Added custom away status feature

  GPU load with current Nvidia drivers
