In this step of the Setup Wizard, you can specify two important key-bindings:
· Microphone Mute—when to place the microphone on mute. Note: if you try
and talk while the microphone is muted, TeamSpeak 3.0 will let you know with
a beep.

someone enters the room, for example, that shouldn’t hear the conversation.
To assign the hotkey to either, simply click the appropriate button to the right. This
will activate the Hotkey Capture Window—any keys that you press while this
window is active will become the hotkeys. Note: you can change the hotkeys by
simply click the appropriate button again although they will become labeled with the

Congratulations! You have completed the configuration wizard and are now ready
to use TeamSpeak 3.The last step of the configuration wizard allows you to quickly connect to a server in
one of three ways (by checking the appropriate box):
· Open bookmarks—check this box to open the bookmarks window through
which you can create a bookmark to a new server. In order to do this, you
will need the username and password of the server owner if the server is a
private server;
· Open public server list—check this box to open a list of public servers. You
can connect to any one of these servers without any username or password.
· Rent your own TeamSpeak server—check this box to open a list of
authorized TeamSpeak server providers through which you can rent a
TeamSpeak server. You can then return to TeamSpeak and, through the
bookmarks window for example, set up a new bookmark to the server using
the credentials provided to you by the provider.
