Create Channel
If
the server has granted you sufficient privileges, either the server-flag “all
can create channels” is on (you check that in the Connection menu, Server
Connection Info under Server Options or right-click the servername in the
left section of the client and click on Server Connection Info in the popup
menu) or you are “SA” Server Admin, you can create channels on the server. After
clicking the menu item you are presented with a dialogue window. You must fill
in a name for a channel. You optionally choose a Topic for your channel (which
will show up in the right section of the all the clients connecting to your
channel). If you want to allow only privileged persons in your channel you may
set a password on it. Each channel you create can use a different codec, choose
a codec that suits your needs (this is mainly a bandwidth issue, for example
if the host the TeamSpeak server is on has lots of bandwidth you can chose one
of the GSM codecs; if the host has a DSL connection with 256 kilobit upstream
and he needs to host more than 14 people than you might be better off using
one of the CELP codecs, more information in this this
section). In the description area you can type a message to your channel vistitors
what your channel is about or maybe the latest news (it is restricted to 100
characters). In the Max. Users box you can set the maximum users you want to
allow to your channel. At flags you can check wether you want your channel to
be Registered (which means it will stay on the server permanently, otherwise
the channel will disappear after the last person leaves that specific channel).
If you check the moderated box only users that have specifically been given
voice can talk in your channel, all others can listen
only. Voice can be given by persons with Server Admin,
Channel Admin and Operator
status.
If you check Sub-Channels box, sub-channels are allowed to be created under your channel. This comes in handy when you have big teams in games which would communicate more efficient if broken up in groups. If you check the Default box your channel becomes the default channel which means that it is the first channel people come into when logging into your server (of course if they haven’t specified a channel while connecting). When you’re done with all the options you can press the Create Channel button to make the channel or Cancel to cancel the channel.
