I have TS running on my LAN... I would like TS to startup automatically (not hard - just put it in windows startup folder) but I would also like the client to automatically connect to a specific server when it starts.

Is there a way I can do this in the client options - if not, is it possible to use command line arguments to enter channel name/password/nick/address etc. that TS will use when it starts up?

edit: I can see that it's possible to give commandline arguments that TS interprets as server connect information, however I have not been able to work out the exact order of arguments... if anybody knows what or where, I would be grateful

edit2: I found references to this in google... found the manual in the teamspeak folder... the reason i had difficulty with such a simple task, was that the Manual for the client did not appear from the Help -> Manual menu in the client, but the Server Manual instead. Perhaps it would of been better to install the Client and Server in different directories, and not - as the installer suggests - the same one... or simpler yet put the manual pages for the client and server into different directories... i.e. manual_client and manual_server

Open Notepad and put this is


[InternetShortcut]
URL=teamspeak://IP_or_NAME:PORTifused/?nickname=NickName?loginname=LoginName?password=Ch annelPassword?Channel=ChannelName

Of course you have to substitute with your Serverdetails

then save it, rename the extension from .txt to .url and put this in the Startup Folder

That should work
