TeamSpeex

You may have wondered why you couldn’t reach this site the couple few days.

The reason was that due a Denial of Service attack the server didn’t come back online again, it actually didn’t boot into Linux anymore So the server underwent a complete new distro install, which is up and running perfectly now. It should feel a little “snappier” as well because the server got a small hardware upgrade too

If you haven’t got any email replies from me the couple of days, it was because of this unfortunate incident. I will try to catch-up with replying.

Good news everyone, TeamSpeex is now downloadable for public testing!

The icon you see here on the left is made by Aakash Soneri and is set as TeamSpeex’s application icon with his permission.

I hope you all like the icon, I certainly do, and it beats the hell out of the standard application icon, so thank you Aakash!

Make sure you visit Aakash’ DeviantArt page to see all of his deviations.

Now, about the beta, as noted in the previous blog post, it is very barebone. Alot of things are not implemented yet and there is alot of room for improvement and optimizations. But you can expect all the basic functionality.

So go over to the downloads page and get your self a copy to join the open beta.

Thanks for all your nice feedback so far :blush:

You guys and gals deserve an info update and some answers to your questions, so here it goes.

Can I join the private beta-test? Or when will the public beta be available?

I currently have enough testers at the moment and im not accepting any more because I’m already wrapping up the closed beta-test and preparing things for the public beta. So dont worry, you are better off testing the public beta since I will make it available before the end of the weekend (before Mon 17 Oct 2005). I promise.

Wondering what TeamSpeex is? I’m happy to tell you but first I’ll explain what TeamSpeak is:

TeamSpeak is a Voice over IP program used by alot of gamers to communicate with each other with voice. The TeamSpeak client is available for Windows and Linux users and an official Mac client has been announced more than 1 year ago but there is still no Mac client as of today..

So I was tired of waiting and seeing Mac users being left in the dark and not supported by not having a client, up until now ofcourse because (you probably already guessed it) TeamSpeex is a TeamSpeak client for Mac OS X!

I named it TeamSpeex because it only supports the Speex codec. It is fully compatible with existing TeamSpeak servers, and with PC and Linux users.

Here is a screenshot showing the User Interface:

Currently the client is being beta tested by several Mac gamers, an open beta will be available soon for everyone to download, so stay tuned!
