Mumble – an open-source, cross-platform, VoIP application to establish true low latency voice communication for gamers. Mumble uses a client–server architecture which allows users to talk to each other via the same server.
Main features for end-users:
– Low-latency – great for talking and gaming
– Stay private and secure: always encrypted communication, public/private-key authentication by default
– Recognize friends across servers
– For gamers: in-game overlay – see who is talking, FPS and the current time, positional audio – hear the players from where they are located in-game
– Wizards to guide you through setup, like configuring your microphone
Main features for administrators:
– Libre software – no licensing hassle, caveats and limitations
– Open Source – open in security and technology, and open to extendibility
– Extensive user permission system (ACL)
– Extendible through Ice protocols
— Web interfaces – free choice of several community free software projects
— Channel viewers – even without direct Ice access, if the hoster provides the CVP, easily set up your channel viewer of choice
— Authenticators – to allow users to authenticate against an existing user database
— Custom chat commands and context (right click) menu entries
The project founder is Thorvald Natvig.
