I had no idea this was a thing. Might check it out some time. Is it mostly for gaming?

We use it for gaming and the podcast. We've been eyeing a move to Discord but nothing decisive has happened, although we are well aware that Discord has overtaken TeamSpeak 3 in terms of popularity.

I hate discord personally and it bothers me that people are giving up teamspeak for that. I find the UI annoying and unintuitive, and the program to be buggy and unstable.

I agree, a pretty web based app is no replacement for a good solid desktop application that has been refined over years and years of use.

Too much of this jumping on the WebUI bandwagon.

Discord has a desktop app, TS works great but if you have to do a new build it changes your key each time. So any privileges you may have on a channel have to be redone each time. Versus in Discord it's attached to your account, I like the UI of Discord over TS but TS has greater stability. If they could combine the two that would be great.

You can backup your TS credentials.

Tried that and failed each time lol. But Discord has been great for me, the in game overlay has bugs but has gotten better over the past couple of months.

I've always just copied the Appdata\Roaming\TS3Client folder onto my backup media and put the folder back afterwards and everything worked fine.

w/ discord....the standalone client would make my system completely bug out requiring a restart after running for 10 or 20 minutes...completely unusable. With the web app, my push-to-talk key would stop working after some minutes and I had to use voice activation. Usable, but far from ideal.

Not sure what the upsides are supposed to be. I guess it's easier to send someone a link to connect to your server, rather than having to send the address + password info and have them enter it manually

I don't see a discord server happening for the same reason why the livechat that we had many years ago was removed.

It would be possible to restrict text channels to staff only or something though, leaving us with voice chat only.

Then again Teamspeak has its own text chat and that hasn't been removed so I dunno. Since Discord uses user accounts it would probably be a bit easier to moderate, and there are bots that can be used to automatically moderate.
