Teamspeak usage: in game questions from Newb

Post by Shan~Man »

Ok- I hope this is the correct forum. I've not used Teamspeak much so forgive the stupid questions
What is the advantage of using Teamspeak in-game rather than mumble? I think I'm missing something.
Ive bound " push to talk" in Teamspeak to the same mouse key as mumble local. Is this what I should be doing?
When in game I have to alt-tab out to even see the teamspeak window...I guess I'm missing the usefulness of doing this.
Overwolf- should I be using this and why?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

ShanMan, TeamSpeak is for talking to friends and clan/community members, mostly about out-of-game stuff. Mumble is basically integrated into Project Reality as a VOIP, and is what the teams use in-game. Bind Teamspeak to a different key than Local Voice, or any of the channels on Mumble or grave confusion will ensue...

No experience using Overwolf, though - does it work with PR?

I mean, I use teamspeak to chat to my mates. But use Mumble ingame so were all on the same page in the squad.

So the comments so far are:- Teamspeak for chatting both ingame and outgame... got it.

I thought I heard someone the other day during TS chat say they poked a guy and sent him a picture????? Not sure if that was something in TEamspeak or not.

Overwolf doesn't seem like anything useful to me but appears to be usable inside PR.
Thanks guys for your comments so far.

teamspeak in my opinion is kinda borderline cheating depending on how its used.
secondly, its very inconvenient.
third, you should NOT have the same key as TS with your mumble, as it will either:
A. echo
B. mumble will override TS.
