Teamspeak 3 - Whisper Lists and Channel Commander

Whisper lists are used on Teamspeak to communicate with specific individuals across select channels, your own channel, or the entire server. It can be set to groups, specific channels, or the only we use (and allow): Channel commanders.

Making yourself channel commander is done simply by right-clicking your own name on Teamspeak and simply selecting the channel commander button. Those who have it activated can be recognised by their yellow or orange button instead of the default blue one.

In order to communicate with other channel commanders, you now have to set up a whisper list. The simplest way to do this is selecting Tools and then Whisper Lists in the menu.

This opens a new window where you have to first select your whisper button - This basically functions as an additional push-to-talk button, and has to be separate from your other such buttons. An example would be to use Num 5 or 8, but it can be anything you're not otherwise using. To set it, click the "New" button and a dark-grey screen shows up requesting you press your Hotkey Combination.

Once you've chosen your talk button, the screen changes a little. It will now show who and where your will be whispering to - by default, to clients and channels. First set your "Whisper to" option to "Groups", and then "Group Whisper Type" set to Channel Commander. THIS PART IS IMPORTANT.

Once  you've done that, simply click OK and Apply in the prompt that comes up, and you're set to whisper. A new window will be opened every time you whisper, showing the participants in the whisper channel. This can be disabled in your Options by going to the Whisper tab, and unselecting "Always show whisper history when receiving a whisper."
