TeamSpeak, a long-time player in the voice communication space, is making a significant comeback, aiming to compete directly with Discord. The update includes a redesigned user interface that closely mirrors Discord, along with new features to entice users.
TeamSpeak's Transformation
For those still using the older versions of TeamSpeak, the platform is about to feel very different. TeamSpeak is set to introduce screen and camera sharing, 1440p/source quality multi-streaming at 60FPS, and hosted servers. To make a point the company has included a link to cancel a Discord Nitro subscription on each post about the new update.
Why the Change?
Discord has faced recent criticism from its user base, stemming from rumors of potential advertisements. TeamSpeak is looking to capitalize on this and provide a comparable platform. TeamSpeak's new look will be highly familiar to Discord users, with servers, contacts, and group chats arranged similarly. This aims to draw in a new audience.
A Nod to Tradition
However, there is a potential for some long-time TeamSpeak users to resist this update. They value its simplicity and direct focus on voice communication, rather than incorporating what they perceive as extraneous features. This creates an interesting situation where TeamSpeak is trying to move into the future while still retaining its core audience.
