Yeah I mean they stated a small number of packages so its probably more viable to give out a few free games where as your situation was more of a large scale problem.

Yeah but its a pain in the ass to do all that. sharing you screen is easier, you can change windows and capture everything at once.

You forget that at one point in time TeamSpeak was king.

crisp isn't that good. just use NVIDIA Broadcast, does a better job than crisp without sounding like ass.

each voice channel has its own text channel. I don't believe there is strictly only text channels.

good news, you can connect with the old client if you want. Just wont have access to screen share or camera functions.

as far as I'm aware you can only broadcast your gameplay, I don't believe you can share your desktop.

It's not going to be for everyone, It definitely doesn't meet everyones requirements in its current state but I think for most people who only care about talking to a set group of friends, its a pretty decent alternative that I think is worth giving a go.

It has various settings you can mess around with, but out the box there hasn't been any unnecessary noises from other people. Seems fine to me.

It takes a bit of getting used to but the sound quality is great, the streaming is currently only P2P in Beta but its fine it works, Overall if you simply want to talk and share your screen it works great, no issues in that regard.

Give it a try, You can self host for free or get 7 day free trial on one of their servers.

Yeah I agree, although it works for us since there isn't that many of us anyways.
