TeamTalk 5.21.0.5182 – Free Voice Chat & Conferencing Tool

TeamTalk 5 is a freeware conferencing system that allows multiple users to participate in audio and video conversations. It also enables groups to collaborate and share information in real time. During a conference, participants can speak via microphone, view others through webcams, share files, display desktop applications, play music, and more.

Unlike other popular conferencing applications, TeamTalk provides its own standalone server. This crucial difference means you are not dependent on a third party to host your conferences, giving you complete control over your community, access, and participant list.

The installation file conveniently includes both the client and server applications. TeamTalk is especially notable because it provides a dedicated client application with accessibility features specifically created for visually impaired users. This robust software has been continuously developed since 2002.

How the TeamTalk Conferencing System works:

TeamTalk Channels

Getting started with the conferencing system is a simple two-step process. First, connect to a TeamTalk server, whether it’s one you set up yourself or a publicly available server. Once connected, you can browse a variety of channels (also known as rooms). Entering a channel instantly allows you to interact with other users and join the conversation.

Audio and Video Conversations

TeamTalk supports multiple video sessions, allowing you to view video from every user in a channel. To see users with active video streams, click the Video tab — active video sessions will appear in a grid layout. Users transmitting video are highlighted with a blue frame around their user icon. Click the detach button in the top-right corner to open the selected user’s video in a separate window.

Share Desktop Applications

Seamlessly share any application on your desktop with other users for effective online presentations. This feature lets you collaborate and present with ease. If you need to view the shared content in a separate window, press the detach button in the top right to get a dedicated view.

File Sharing

Users can click the Files tab to access downloadable files within their current channel. Each file is displayed with its name, size, and uploader details.

Server Administration

TeamTalk gives you a choice: connect to one of the publicly available servers through the client application, or gain complete control by running your own server. The standalone server — available for Windows, macOS, and Linux — allows you to configure every aspect of your server’s settings and user access with precision. Whether public or private, a single TeamTalk server can handle up to 1000 simultaneous users.
