That is a name I have not seen in a long time. I remember when I use to game with Ventrilo/Teamspeak/Mumble about a decade ago.
For anyone who still uses Teamspeak today, what do you use it for?

1) Voice data stays with us, not yet again some other company 2) The TS Client is slim, lightweight and uses little resources while the Discord client is absolutely horrid, sluggish and quite the memory hog 3) TS has far superior voice quality (subjectively) and latency (due to the server being close)
I use discord for some things, but only from a browser. Wouldn't want to use it professionally, although it is relatively decent.
Speech quality is far better on mumble with less latency, because the server is in near proximity.
edit: Don't know about Mumbles text chat, it is rarely used.
Teamspeak never stopped working so there was never a reason to switch to anything else.
Hah, I have a different experience: my Teamspeak server literally stopped working once they started requiring a license key even for self-hosted instances. I scrapped the server entirely and switched to Mumble.
Ah, so your circle of friends does not include people with messed up audio. Teamspeak happily passes on whatever it got as input. Discord does quite a bit of filtering, able to salvage legibility of some of my friends.
This is just another point for TS, frankly
For example, I play a good amount of Eve Online and we have a lot of ACL shenanigans. First, you have your fleet's main channel where most of the membership is going to be. So far so good.
At the top of the list are leadership channels. These guys can talk to and hear their own fleet but with can also instantly page other people in leadership (corp leadership and also other fleet commanders).
Then at the bottom of the list are specific group sub-channels. For example, your scouts and your logistics players need a good amount of coordination with each other, so they will have a lil room where they can talk at each other without tying up comms for the main fleet or distracting leadership with stuff that isn't actionable to them.
Then you can add in a whole extra layer of complexity if you are part of an alliance with multiple corps in it.
You basically can't do that in discord unless you want to have to switch between different channels the entire time. It might sound overkill but if you have 90+ players in your fleet you cannot get away with 'just put everyone in a big room'.
