Any tips for teamspeak in VR

[GeekyDeaks]

As I'm new to group, I was hoping to use an overlay with teamspeak to tell me who is talking, but I'm struggling to get anything to work in VR and was wondering if anyone has something they could recommend?

Also, even after turning down the game volume to 50% I was struggling to hear the chat over the engine noise. I was looking to see if there was any way to automatically reduce the game volume when someone talks. Not sure if anyone else has tried something similar?

Nah, nothing out there works natively with VR. Not that I could find. You would need run a third party app that could overlay the chat into the headset, I would like TSPlugin to work in VR as it's non intrusive.

Regarding game sounds and TS. You need to get the levels right before you start, I use an app called ear trumpet which allows you change each apps volume levels independently to what they are set in their own settings.

Cheers Paul. I'll take a look at Ear Trumpet. I also found this https://www.myteamspeak.com/addons/11e7b6cf-4264-43ee-969c-179dd8839f86 which I'll also have a play with to see if it works.

I was a bit rushed yesterday and kinda ran out of time before the race to mess around properly

Easiest way would be to reduce whatever game your playing and right click on the name of the person who’s volume you would like to increase on TS, then just slide the volume up

Obviously this doesn’t help with recognising the person your chatting with.

That might be a tad tricky in the middle of a race

I resorted to just using the mixer and reducing the game sound a lot, whilst increasing the teamspeak. If I spend a lot of time in AC I might see about creating an app for displaying who is talking. Depends on what other shiny stuff distracts me
