TeamSpeak 3
Run your own TeamSpeak 3 voice server on Lanzinha for crystal-clear voice chat with your group. Unlike Counter-Strike, a TeamSpeak server is world-backed: your channels, permissions, bans, and admin grants live in a database that persists across sessions.

World-backed: your server remembers itself
A TeamSpeak server's database is its "world." When a room stops, Lanzinha saves the TeamSpeak database — your channels, permissions, bans, and the admins who claimed the server — and restores it the next time you open a room. So you set your channel tree up once and it's there every time. You can download that database as a backup or delete the world like any other.
Room settings
When you open a TeamSpeak 3 room you can set:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Room name | The virtual server's name, shown when people connect. |
| Password | Optional. Leave it empty and anyone with the address can join; set one to keep it private. |
| Slots | How many people can be connected at once (2–32). Defaults to 16. |
| Welcome message | A message shown to people when they join. |
| Channels | A list of channels created the first time the server boots. |
The channels you list are created on first boot and then persisted, so on later sessions they're already there — you don't re-create them each time.
TeamSpeak rooms have no whitelist. Access control is the room password: leave it empty for an open room, or set one and share it only with the people you want.
Becoming admin
The first time your server boots, TeamSpeak issues an admin privilege key that grants server-admin rights. You'll find it in the session's activity feed — use it in your TeamSpeak client to claim admin. Once claimed, that admin grant is part of the saved database, so it persists on later sessions.
On a server restored from a saved database, the server-admin password is reset on first boot, and you may see a fresh privilege-key notice — that's expected. Watch the session activity feed right after the room goes ready.
Slots and licensing
The free TeamSpeak server caps you at 32 slots and up to 16 channels — that's the no-license limit, and it's plenty for most groups. Lanzinha hosts the free server; going beyond those limits would need a commercial TeamSpeak license, which isn't offered here.
Connecting
When your room is ready, the session page shows the connect address with a Copy button. Paste it into your TeamSpeak client's Connect dialog (along with the password, if you set one). See Connecting to your server.
Billing
A TeamSpeak server is billed per minute while it's running, against your prepaid balance — see Billing. It bills while anyone is connected, even in silence, and auto-stops a few minutes after the last person leaves, so you don't pay for an empty room. Because voice users drop and rejoin often, TeamSpeak waits a little longer than game servers before auto-stopping. If you want the server to stay up between calls, turn on keep-alive.
