AFK channel?

[Admiral Inman]

We have a teamspeak server and an AFK channel but we would like for teamspeak to stop announcing when people come into the channel and leave the channel. Is there any way to do this?

Yeah, i haven't figured this one out either. I raised the talk power to max so nobody could talk in the channel, but muting the server announcements would be nice. The only way i can see to do it now is from the client side which each person would have to do on their own.

Sit in the room and mute yourself i guess. Would be nice to remove all sounds from the channel though.

No idea what to do with the server notification sounds but muting things is easy in the room, Just set the talk power needed to speak in that room to something higher then everybody

and then this way who ever goes in doesnt have the privlage to speak in it.

I muted my mic and headphones and I still hear the TTS when people are moving around from channel to channel as well as joining and leaving the server.

We have already done this but teamspeak still says buddy joined channel/left channel.

I'm guessing the only way to effect that is by changing the client TTS binds (which you can't do from the server AFAIK).

I have the talk power on TS3 set to 200 which is higher than any user level.

I also have i_client_talk_power and i_client_talk_power for all clients set to 10.

Seems to be working fine.

On server side you can prevent clients from talking in a channel, you can *not* disable their sounds (be it TTS or the normal sound pack), if they want to disable that, they can do it, on the client side.

[markgm5]

how can they turn off the announcements from the client side ON ONLY THAT ONE CHANNEL?

it seems easy to just turn off the tts either entirely or by function, but not on a channel by channel basis.

[AtotehZ]

Bumping this because I think it is a good question, I also think announcements should be able to be disabled from in a specific channel.

I would be sweet if a mod could look at it, or if someone could tell me if the functionality has been added later on.

We won't add a feature, that disbales all sounds, while your are in a special channel only.
This was requested and rejected before.

AFK > Away from Keyboard > So you should not be there and it does not matter anymore if an sound was played

[AtotehZ]

You're wrong. AFK means 'Away From Keyboard' as you said, but being away from the keyboard and not being there are entirely different things. It's not unusual to use your computer as media system, and these sounds are annoying. I am the admin of a server and moderator of another and I have to be able to hear activity on the server, but when I'm in the AFK channel, I don't.

In short. Either you are not using your own product enough to know how annoying this can be, or otherwise you're lazy. Neither are particularly fortunate.

[Air SeaTac]

Maybe I've just misunderstood this whole thing, but if you don't want to hear the Teamspeak announcements, why not just press the 'Mute speakers / headphones' button?

You also can:

a) Self --> Sound Pack --> SoundsDeactivated

b) Previously, you have created a Playback Profile, called 'AFK' for example, with the "Sound Pack Volume" in "Quiet" position. And then
Self --> Playback profile --> Select 'AFK'

c) If you want to go to a channel when you are AFK, you can prepare an entry in the bookmark for that case and in its configuration you indicate the AFK channel, the soundpack 'Sounds Deactivated' or the playback profile 'AFK' and when you want to go there... just reconnect using this bookmark entry.

Has this feature ever been added? I'd love it where a channel such as the AFK one could be entirely muted without doing it to the entire server. It would make it much less annoying than to have to mute all your sounds, change sound packs every time you go AFK... This would be especially useful if your Team Speak auto-moves users who don't cue their mic within a certain time frame, thus moving them to AFK.
