This video explains how to use the Teamspeak 3 functions “whisper” and “channel commander”. Whispering is useful, when there are more than 6 players using the same channel on a Teamspeak Server. Typically, if you have more than 6/7 players talking in the same channel, half of the players don’t say a word, while the other half just spreads information, that is useless and/or even annoying for the rest.

Solution:

The players use seperate channels in Teamspeak 3. They join seperate sub channels in the same groups as they play together on the servers. This results into a new…

… problem:

Squads can talk only to squad members, but not to members in other channels.

Solution with Channel Commanders and “whisper”-function:

In each channel one or more players need to become so called “Channel Commanders”. For this, they use a special key to communicateto other channel commanders in any other channel. If they don’t use the special “whisper”-key, they communicate only inside their channel. The regular users in all channels communication don’t hear anything from the channel commander’s communications.

You need to do two things:

1)  Define a key to use the whisper function

2) Become a channel commander

Part 1: configure the whisper key:

• Click on “Settings”, then “Options”
• In the left column look for the “Whisper” icon, click on it
• Click on “Whisper Lists”
• In the new window you click on “new” to configure a whisper key
• Hit any key or key-combination you want to use for the whisper function
• Set the dropdown “Whisper to” to “Groups”
• Two new dropdowns appear
• Set dropdown “Group Whisper Type” to “Channel Command”
• Set dropdown “Group Whisper Target” to “All Channels”

The loudspeaker icon in front of your name now changes to a different icon. If you  press the whisper key, the icon turns red.
