TeamTalk 5 Software Development Kit

The TeamTalk 5 SDK enables developers to quickly develop applications with instant messaging, voice over IP (VoIP) and video capturing capabilities. Examples of such applications could be Internet phones, conferencing tools, surveillance systems, e-Learning systems, or any other type of application where audio and video transmission between networked clients is an essential part of the application. One such example is the TeamTalk 5 Conferencing System which is entirely based on the TeamTalk 5 SDK.

TeamTalk 5 SDK Features

The TeamTalk 5 SDK consists of both a client and a server. The TeamTalk server is a standalone application which provides user authentication and keeps track of connected clients. It can operate in both LAN or WAN (Internet) environments. Each server instance is capable of serving 1000 simultaneous clients.

With the TeamTalk 5 SDK developers to add the following features to their application:
