Settings, and Rank Descriptions:
We'll start with settings. At the top of the client there is a 'Settings' dropdown, click it. Choose 'Sound Input/Output Settings.' I recommend using 'Push to talk' for starters, eventually after you learn more you can use 'Voice activation,' but many people get annoyed with people who don't know what they're doing and they have their activation level so low it echos and most of the time you'll get kicked from the server
Choose 'Push to talk' and click 'Set' and than hit the button you want to use. When you hit this button it will allow you to talk, and you'll have to hold it down while your talking. If you talk without holding the button down, no one will hear you. You can change your button at anytime, or you can clear it completely. Some buttons will interfere with your RuneScape gameplay, but i've found that 'Right Alt' is the best option because it doesn't interfere with gameplay and is good for gameplay without having to look at the keyboard.
After you use Teamspeak for awhile you'll notice that there are letters behind everyone's nickname between ( ).
U = Unregistered user Unregistered users normally have less rights then registered users. Unregistered users CAN get AV, AO, CA or SA, but these rights will NOT be saved until the user has registered with the server.
R = Registered user Registered users usually have more rights than unregistered users and they can theoretically get all available flags including CA, SA, AV and AO
SA = ServerAdmin ServerAdmins have full access to the servers functions. Depending on the servers configuration they can also change the servers permission-settings.
V = Voiced user Users with voice rights can talk in moderated channels. This flag is only availabe in moderated channels.
AV = AutoVoice This is a permanent flag which automatically gives the user voice rights when he joins the channel he got this right in. This flag is only availabe in moderated channels.
O = Operator An operators main task is to give the voice flag to other users. Depending on the servers configuration they can also give AutoVoice rights. This flag is only availabe in moderated channels.
AO = AutoOperator This is a permanent right which automatically gives the user operator rights when he joins the channel he got this right in. This flag is only availabe in moderated channels.
CA = ChannelAdmin A ChannelAdmins main task is to manage a channel and it's users. Depending on the servers configuration they can give V, O, AV, AO and even CA.
You'll also notice that some channels will have flags in there names too between ( ).
U = Unregistered channel Unregistered channels are temporary channels. They will be deleted when the last user leaves the channel.
R = Registered channel Registered channels are permanent channels. They will stay until someone deletes them manually.
M = Moderated channel Users need specific flags to be able to talk in moderated channels.
S = Sub-Channels allowed Channels with this flags can have sub-channels.
D = Default channel The default channel is the channel all users will join in unless they've specified another channel when connecting to the server. There is exactly one default channel per server.
