In short

You set up a music bot for TeamSpeak at FameSystems in ten minutes: order the bot as a prepaid product, connect it to your TeamSpeak server address in the web interface, authorise the bot account on the server, create a playlist, done. Nothing runs on your computer and no member has to start any software.

Why a hosted music bot

A self-installed bot needs a computer that runs permanently, someone to maintain it and usually tinkering with audio drivers. The FameSystems music bot runs on the infrastructure in Frankfurt, is online around the clock and is operated via a web interface. You only take care of the music.

Setup in five steps

  • Order the music bot in the customer area. It is available immediately after receipt of payment.
  • Enter your TeamSpeak server address in the bot web interface and connect the bot.
  • On the TeamSpeak server create a server group for bots with the permissions to enter channels and send audio, and assign the bot account to this group.
  • Create playlists: add tracks or streams, set the order, adjust the volume.
  • Define who may control the bot so that not every guest changes the music.

Tips from support

  • Set the bot volume lower than the voice volume so that conversations remain intelligible.
  • Create a dedicated music channel that members switch to when they want to listen to music.
  • For radio streams use the stream URL, not the station's website.
  • Bind permissions for bot control to a group, not to individuals.
Music bot and TeamSpeak server run on the same network at FameSystems behind Arbor DDoS mitigation. An attack on the server does not affect the bot, and vice versa.
