TeamSpeak
From GotFrag eSports Wiki
TeamSpeak is proprietary Voice over IP software that allows users to speak on a chat channel with other users, much like a telephone conference call. A TeamSpeak user will often wear a headset with an integrated microphone. Users use the TeamSpeak client software to connect to a TeamSpeak server of their choice, from there they can join chat channels.
The target audience for TeamSpeak are gamers, who can use the software to communicate with other players on the same team of a multiplayer game. Communicating by voice gives a competitive advantage by allowing players to keep their hands on the mouse and action keys.

Server
The TeamSpeak server currently supports Microsoft Windows and Linux and uses a web based or telnet interface to control server administration and settings. The server runs as a dedicated server separate from the client.
TeamSpeak 2 supports virtual server instancing. That means you're able to run an infinite number of servers in just one process (or instance) on your server, by letting TeamSpeak virtually create a new process or instance.
User Types
When logging into the web server there are two types of accounts that can be given access to the administrative interface: Server Admins and Super Server Admins. Super Server Admins have full access to all virtual TeamSpeak servers hosted on that server instance (more than one server instance can run on one physical server). Server Admins are limited to the virtual server their account is associated with.
Permissions
The permissions section divides the users in to six groups: Server Admin, Channel Admin, Operator, Voiced, Registered and Anonymous. Various abilities can be granted or denied to the different groups.
Client
The TeamSpeak client is used to modify some server settings such as creation and deletion of channels and registration of users. However the client is primarily used for its voice chat function. The client is able to join servers by connecting to a specified IP address or using its built in server browser. The server browser is able to quickly find the desired server by using multiple filters to locate the destination server or reduce the total number of displayed servers.
Channels
From the client an infinite number of channels can be created if server permissions permit the user to create channels. There are 5 types of channels; Registered, Unregistered, Moderated, Sub-channels and Default channel. Any channel can be given a password often used to prevent unwanted disturbances in the channel.
Registered/Unregistered Channels
Registered Channels will remain on a server until deleted from the server. Unregistered channels will immediately cease to exist if the channel is empty. By default, unregistered channels have a lower voice quality or a worse codec, although this may be modified easily.
Moderated Channels
Moderated channels give the channel admin the most control over their channel than any other type of channel. In moderated channels the channel operator or an admin has to grant any users that enter the channel voice privileges before they can speak on the channel. This is the only type of channel that uses the voiced and operator user groups.
Sub-channels and default channel
Sub-channels are part of a hierarchy system with other channels. The default channel is the channel all users will enter when they join the pseudo-server
