Teamspeak sounds familiar, I think I had issues with them once before. Is it the one bundled with that OverWolf malware?
TeamSpeak is basically what Discord replaced in many gaming communities/servers/groups. Before discord, most gaming groups would have a TeamSpeak, Ventrillo or Mumble server. These were self hosted (or hosted in a VPS) and generally worked better than Skype. TeamSpeak was the most polished, Ventrillo was kinda dated looking but worked well and Mumble was the free software that was getting started and is now pretty good
I personally treated Discord as a replacement for Skype, I used to chat with close friends on there for years before Microsoft purchased it.
Yeah back in the day my friend group was on Skype as well as jumping onto whatever vc server was setup for whatever Minecraft server we were on. Skype was too bloated and bogged the system down especially if trying to do a voice call while playing a game on my old single core Pentium circa 2010ish
I think TS3 is bundled with Overwolf, but not TS6. I can be wrong.
