  Ts6 server owners need a sub. Clients are fine. I’ve used to since ts2. Those guys are good ppl. Not a big team. Just making good software for voice chat groups. I’ll never not love ts even though I don’t use it anymore.

  If I could convince my communities to swap, I’d do it in a heartbeat. The new one is great.

    Don’t get me wrong, I used teamspeak with my friends back in the day for Counterstrike, Starcraft, Warcraft, DoTA (yeah, the mod), and it was great. TS6 does look awesome, and I like the new interface even. But none of that is relevant, read what I wrote: I didn’t say “I have a problem with using clients”, or even honestly “I have a problem with all closed-source software”. I said “I am done trying to get people to install another app” and because I can’t get anyone to install another app, “clients are a nonstarter for my use case”. That’s it, that’s the reason.

    Shit man, you just said

    If I could convince my communities to swap

    So you fucking get it. I’m not going to pay for a license for software that nobody’s going to use because of the bullshit excuse that they’d “have to install another app”. Instead I spent a few days of my time learning some stuff (which I’d have had to do for TS6 anyway) and got Stoat up and running in my environment, and now I have a web app for voice calls. They don’t support video or screensharing yet, but that’s not a nonstarter for me because those features are on the roadmap.

      All they would have to do is get a web interface and host on there servers with a nitro type deal and they could kill discord right now

        Agreed. No joke, if they had a web interface I’d always have a license and I’d be running that instead.
