The King Has Reclaimed The Throne. Teamspeak Has Released A Big Update

by

It’s hard to discuss voice chats without bringing up Discord. Since its debut in 2015, the platform has consistently grown each year and hit an all-time high last year with a staggering 196 million monthly active users. This figure surpasses what Teamspeak doesn’t even disclose – it’s intriguing to ponder why that might be.

However, aiming to regain its former glory, the renowned voice chat platform, Teamspeak, has unveiled a fresh update for its longstanding users. This is certainly cheerful tidings for the 17 Teamspeak enthusiasts who continue to use it in 2025. Here’s a rundown of what you need to know about the latest update from Teamspeak.

What’s New in TeamSpeak 6

According to the TeamSpeak X Twitter post, the beta phase for TeamSpeak 6 begins on January 21st. This new version offers a sleeker interface similar to Discord’s, complete with a server list and channels that can be categorized by topics or games. An exciting addition is the screen sharing feature, which enables users to stream in high-definition 1440p at 60 frames per second without any extra costs.

Streamlined server management: You can now rent servers directly from the app, accommodating up to five users starting at $3.99. Alternatively, users have the option of managing their own servers on devices such as Raspberry Pi. All server users enjoy premium features like high-resolution streaming for free; however, it’s only the host who incurs a fee.

TeamSpeak Throws Shade

In a spirited and mischievous gesture, TeamSpeak recently poked fun at its main rival, Discord, in a subtle tweet. Amidst their friendly competition, TeamSpeak playfully posted a link to Discord’s guide on how to cancel a Nitro subscription, subtly hinting that users might want to reconsider their platform choice.

However, it appears that the contest between Discord and Teamspeak has reached its conclusion, with Discord emerging as the clear victor. Established in 2015, Discord’s popularity has soared due to its user-friendly interface and numerous benefits, such as requiring no app download and allowing unlimited server creation. A quick glance at X reveals this, where Discord boasts approximately 4.2 million followers compared to Teamspeak’s 233k. While we can’t help but appreciate Teamspeak for its humorous tweets about being an outdated domain and superiority over Discord, the numbers speak for themselves.
