TeamSpeak 6 Communities: The Ultimate Guide to the New Server Hosting Feature

If you’ve been a long-time TeamSpeak user, you’ve probably noticed the platform’s gradual evolution—or, some might say, its frustratingly slow pace of change. But with TeamSpeak 6 (TS6), the developers have finally rolled out a game-changing feature: Communities.

This new system allows users to purchase and manage their own TeamSpeak servers directly through myTeamSpeak, eliminating the need for third-party hosting setups. It’s a big step toward modernizing TeamSpeak and making it more competitive with platforms like Discord.

So, what exactly is this feature, and why should you care? Let’s break it down.

What Are TeamSpeak 6 Communities?

TeamSpeak Communities is a built-in server hosting solution that lets users:

• Buy a server directly from TeamSpeak (starting at $3.99/month for 5 slots) 12.

• Manage everything through myTeamSpeak—no separate logins or external hosting required.

• List servers in the Public Server Directory (if desired) to attract new users 6.

• Sync server access across devices using myTeamSpeak credentials 7.

This is a huge shift from the old model, where users had to set up and maintain their own TS3 servers. Now, TeamSpeak handles the backend, making it easier for casual users to get started while still offering the privacy and control that hardcore fans love.

Why This Matters for TeamSpeak Users

1. No More Complicated Server Setup

Gone are the days of fiddling with port forwarding, VPS configurations, or licensing issues. With Communities, you can spin up a server in minutes—just like on Discord, but with TeamSpeak’s legendary low-latency audio and security 7.

2. Self-Hosting Still an Option

If you prefer running your own hardware, you still can. TeamSpeak hasn’t abandoned its decentralized roots—this is just an additional (and much more user-friendly) option 12.

3. Screen Sharing & Modern Features

One of the biggest complaints about TeamSpeak 5 was the lack of features like screen sharing. TS6 finally delivers:

• 1440p/60 FPS screen sharing (free, unlike Discord Nitro) 12.

• Camera sharing for video calls.

• A redesigned UI that’s more intuitive while keeping TeamSpeak’s core functionality 6.

This makes TS6 a real alternative for gamers, businesses, and communities that want better voice quality than Discord but with modern conveniences.

What’s the Catch?

Of course, no new feature is perfect. Some early adopters have pointed out:

• Beta bugs – Since this is still in early stages, some users report instability 3.

• Limited documentation – Right now, there’s no official FAQ or detailed setup guide 3.

• Pricing concerns – While $3.99/month is reasonable, larger communities may find costs adding up compared to Discord’s free model 12.

But if TeamSpeak keeps improving, this could be the revival the platform desperately needs.

Final Thoughts: Is TeamSpeak 6 Worth Switching To?

If you’ve been holding onto TS3 (or reluctantly using Discord), TS6 might finally be the upgrade you’ve waited for. The Communities feature removes the biggest barrier to entry—server setup—while keeping TeamSpeak’s privacy-focused, high-performance voice chat.

Will it dethrone Discord? Probably not overnight. But for users who value audio quality, security, and self-hosting options, TeamSpeak 6 is shaping up to be a strong contender.
