The TeamSpeak Overlay (TSO) program is an add-on utility for the TeamSpeak voice chat application. TSO creates a list of who is speaking on the current TS channel and (optionally) other information about your current TeamSpeak connection. This list is overlayed into the game screen in a fairly unobtrusive manner.

The overall impact of TSO on game performance is negligible on most PCs.

Usage

  • Download the TSO from http://www.teamspeakoverlay.com/ and install it.
  • Launch and connect your TeamSpeak client first.
  • Launch TSO.
    • On first launch, click the Options... button and set your TeamSpeak NickName. Other options are OK at default.
    • Click Done.
  • Click the Enable button in the TeamSpeak Overlay panel.
  • Click the Hide button to move TSO to the system tray.

Note: you won't actually see anything until you are in a game.

Caveats

  • TSO does not work well with Fraps.
  • Applications which create overlays for frame counters or benchmarking may conflict with TSO.
  • TSO is not compatible with Windows Vista or Windows 7. A compatible replacement, TINT, is currently in closed beta. In the meantime, some players use the trial version of PlayClaw.
