Installation and setup
Install on your computer · Instructions checked 2026-10-24
Choose the official stable desktop download for Windows or macOS, or a provider-documented Linux package. Follow the separate macOS version caveat.
Install the client and complete its audio setup for the intended microphone, speakers and push-to-talk behavior.
Connect to a server whose address and rules you trust, or follow the separate server documentation. A client installation alone does not create a hosted voice service.
Test a channel with a small group before migrating. Keep server credentials private and review channel permissions, administration and hosting costs separately.
Provider-source review only; no candidate code, installer or APK was executed.
