# Mumble

Application: Mumble team

Also called mumble voip, mumble client

Mumble team, Games

An open-source low-latency voice client. On Windows the process is mumble.exe.

## What you need to know

Mumble is open-source voice. It is not TeamSpeak.

mumble.exe talks to a Mumble server. TeamSpeak uses a different client and protocol. Discord is a third product.

- **What is it?**: Voice chat

  **Still current?**: Yes, see Current status

  **Official download?**: Use the vendor link in this article

Feex says

If mumble.exe is the voice process, I would treat it as Mumble, not TeamSpeak. Quitting ts3client_win64.exe does not drop this server.

## What is Mumble?

Mumble is the client. The server is often still called Murmur. The Windows executable is mumble.exe.

## If you have never used it

If a group said use Mumble, this is the open-source voice client, not TeamSpeak. Download it from mumble.info. The process is mumble.exe. You still need a Murmur/Mumble server address. ts3client_win64.exe is TeamSpeak.

## What is it used for?

**Low-latency positional or push-to-talk voice**

Mumble documents latency-focused voice. TeamSpeak is a different server protocol.

**Self-hosted or community servers**

You join a host and port. There is no Discord-style cloud workspace included.

**Overlay some players enable**

Optional overlay. It is a Mumble feature, not a GPU control panel.

## Who is it for?

- Communities that host their own voice server
- Players who want an open-source client
- Anyone who mixed it up with TeamSpeak

## Current status

Mumble (2005) is a current voice chat from Mumble team. The vendor still points Windows users at https://www.mumble.info/.

## How old is it?

Mumble launched in 2005 as an open-source low-latency voice client. It is newer than TeamSpeak (2001) and older than Discord (2015). Current Mumble is still a client plus a server you or a host run.

## Versions

Major channels first. Exact build numbers are not all verified here.

Current Windows build

## System requirements

Values follow the publisher's public guidance. Workload still changes the real need.

### Minimum

| Operating system | A current supported Windows 10 or Windows 11 release, per the vendor |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| RAM              | Enough for Windows plus this app. Heavy projects want more.          |

## Resource profile

- **CPU demand**: Follows what you open inside the app

  **RAM demand**: Follows documents, tabs, or libraries

## Installed processes

These executables belong to this product when it is installed.

| mumble.exe | Main Windows executable |
| ---------- | ----------------------- |

## Startup components

Mumble can reconnect to the last server at launch. That is a Mumble setting.

## File locations

| Typical install | C:\Program Files\Mumble\\ |
| --------------- | ------------------------- |

## File formats

Mumble certificates

## Common problems

### No server included in the client click

Mumble needs a server address. Installing only the client does not create a public Discord-like home.

### People apply TeamSpeak port forwards

Wrong protocol. Use Mumble documentation for ports.

## Getting unstuck

### Install from mumble.info

A Mumble plus codec pack is junk. The project hosts the Windows build.

### Confirm the server certificate prompt

Mumble docs explain first-connect certificates. TeamSpeak bookmarks will not apply.

### Test audio in Mumble settings, then Windows Audio

A wrong input device is the usual first miss, not a dead GPU.

## Alternatives

TeamSpeak if that is the hosted server. Discord if the group already moved. In-game voice if you do not want a second client.
