Introduction
In summer 2025, TeamSpeak released the Beta version of the TeamSpeak 6 Server. Now you can experience the next generation of TeamSpeak firsthand!

Prerequisites
Before installing the Teamspeak 6 Server, ensure that your hosting environment meets the following requirements to guarantee a smooth installation and optimal performance.
| Hardware | Minimum | ZAP-Hosting Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 1 vCPU Cores | 4 vCPU Cores |
| RAM | 1 GB | 4 GB |
| Disk space | 1 GB | 25 GB |
Preparation
Before setting up the TeamSpeak 6 Server, you need to prepare your system. To make sure your system is running with the most recent software and security improvements, you should always perform system updates first.
This ensures that your system has the latest security patches and software versions before proceeding.
Installation
Now that all requirements have been met and the necessary preparations have been completed, you can proceed with the installation of the Teamspeak 6 Server application. To install the TeamSpeak 6 Server, first download the latest release file http://teamspeak-server_win64-v6.0.0-beta6.zip/ from GitHub: TeamSpeak 6 Server (Windows 64-bit)
Next, extract the file into a directory of your choice. Open PowerShell and navigate to the directory where you extracted the server files. Start the server by running:
.\tsserver.exe
On the first startup, a window with the license agreement will appear, which you need to accept. After that, the Server Query Admin Account credentials and the privilege key will be displayed. These details are shown only once, so make sure to store them safely.
Once confirmed, the TeamSpeak 6 Server will already be running in the background and ready to use.
Configuration
You can also adjust additional settings for the TeamSpeak 6 Server using command-line arguments. Options are passed directly when starting the server. A full list of available options can be found in the official TeamSpeak 6 Server documentation. Example:
./tsserver --default-voice-port 9987
Establishing connection
Once the TeamSpeak 6 Server is up and running, you can connect using the TeamSpeak 6 Client. Simply use the IP address of your server along with the correct port. Enter these details in the client to connect to your server and start testing.
