Mumble vs. Teamspeak - a comparison
Mumble and Teamspeak are comparable voice chat programs that players especially like to talk to. We will introduce you to the two tools and compare for you how the somewhat less well-known software Mumble vs. Teamspeak in comparison beats.
Teamspeak: Voice chat program for gamers
Teamspeak is the first choice when it comes to a tool for mutual agreement. But that does not mean that there is no comparable competition. We first introduce you to the most important aspects of Teamspeak:
- Teamspeak is widespread and installed on most players' computers. Whichever community you join, everyone will be familiar with Teamspeak.
- This also means that most clans or guilds have a team peak server. The Teamspeak software installed on your computer is only the client, i.e. the necessary tool to connect to a server. You can download the Teamspeak client from us free of charge. In order to actually speak to other players, you also need access to a server.
- The extensive range of functions of the Teamspeak client is also an advantage. If you switch between different servers, they can be managed via the address book. Teamspeak is also very advanced with regard to the audio options: With the "attenuate echo" option, you prevent other callers from hearing themselves when your sound comes through the loudspeaker.
- Teamspeak is now available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux, as well as for Android and iOS.
Mumble: The unknown team peak alternative
Mumble and Teamspeak are quite similar: Both programs require a client on your computer, which you use to connect to a server. As with TeamSpeak, you can use Mumble to talk to other players while you play. You can find the client free of charge in our download portal.
- Mumble stands out with good voice quality and low latency.
- The encryption of the calls should also be emphasized. This makes it more difficult for third parties to listen to your conversations.
- If your computer reaches the limits of its performance while gaming, it is also recommended to prefer Mumble. Mumble uses your processor significantly less than TeamSpeak.
- A setup wizard makes getting started easier, which is why Mumble is easier for new users to use than Teamspeak.
- Unlike TeamSpeak, Mumble is only available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
Conclusion: Teamspeak vs. Mumble in comparison
If you are faced with the choice of renting a server for one of the two programs, it is generally recommended to use Mumble. The voice quality is a bit better and your computer has more resources for your games. However, if you know that your teammates all rely on Teamspeak, you won't go wrong with this software - and you can safely use Teamspeak.
