  • Comment: please don't remove comments. It still needs one or two more high quality references (WP:VRS). The CoolBlindTech source is good, and the blind bargains ref is marginal, but I don't see anything else here in terms of in depth coverage in third party (non-primary) sources. The Blind-Planet ref is also marginal, particularly as it clearly states it is a blog (and therefore not subject to editorial oversight).  InsertCleverPhraseHere  21:23, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

TeamTalk is a conferencing system which people use to communicate on the Internet using VoIP and video streaming.

The TeamTalk conferencing system consists of a server and client application. Users are required to setup their own TeamTalk server before they can use the system. The TeamTalk server is available for Mac OS X, Windows and the widely used Linux distributions CentOS, Debian and Raspbian. The TeamTalk client application supports the same platforms as the server[1] and additionally supports mobile platforms iOS[2] and Android.

For voice encoding TeamTalk uses OPUS and Speex audio codec. Video streams are encoded using WebM video codec.[3]

Usage

The majority of TeamTalk users are visually impaired[4][5][6] who use a screen reader for navigating in the user interface. To be as accessible as possible the TeamTalk client applications strive to only use standard window controls which can be detected by the screen reader.[7][8]

Development

The TeamTalk client applications are being developed on the GitHub project TeamTalk5. The TeamTalk server is proprietary and its source code is therefore not available publicly.

License

TeamTalk is a freeware application and is available for download on popular software sites.[9] By its license, it can be run on any number of servers or clients, or redistributed without charge.[10] Developpers wanting to write applications for TeamTalk must however buy a license.[11]
