Welcome to my first blog post! I'd like to quickly give a shout-out to my buddy Shaknunic and commend him and his efforts for bringing to light the fact that you can still use TeamSpeak 3 on Windows XP.

Here's the very last version that XP ever supported.

More importantly than that, if you're an XP gamer, you'll want to hang out in the dedicated retro TeamSpeak server that Shak hosts.

Here's all the info you need to join!

All you have to do is type in a username and join in. I completely forgot about the fact that there was no registration requirements for the original TeamSpeak program. That is a HUGE blessing in 2025, because it means there's no forced updating. It means that TeamSpeak will forever work on Windows XP, so long as everyone is using the same version when they connect to a server.

There's no way to buy a license for this version of TeamSpeak, unfortunately, so if you're interested in hosting a TeamSpeak server of your own, you'll be limited to 32 members. I mean... good luck reaching that maximum count in our niche hobby... lol. Once you download this version of TeamSpeak, you should be set for life. I hope to voice chat with you very soon, dear readers, on our beloved legacy machines!
