It is absolutely essential for you to be on TeamSpeak for fleet operations. If you're not on Teamspeak, you cannot join or follow the fleet. The Fleet Commander (FC) does not have time to type everything out or issue broadcasts.&nbsp; Assuming you have [[Teamspeak|set up your TeamSpeak account]] correctly, you can log in and move yourself to the Combat Lounge (PvP Waiting) channel where many potential PvP pilots hang out and discuss fleets, etc.<br>

<br> Once you are in a fleet, move yourself to the appropriate wing channel in order to hear communications with your fleet. Stay silent until the operation is over and the Fleet Commander declares open mic. Small gangs are often less strict about voice comm discipline; however in large fleets it is impractical for everyone to have authorization to speak. Make sure your TeamSpeak settings are set up correctly. This mostly means you have [[Teamspeak#Setting_Push-To-Talk|a push-to-talk button (PTT) set]] and not voice-activated.&nbsp; Also, make sure your push-to-talk button is not any button you would use for anything else - we don't want to have to hear you breathing, and we don't want to hear the clicking of your keyboard when you type an email either. Set your push-to-talk key correctly.<br> <br>

'''Disable TeamSpeak sound notifications:''' Settings menu &gt; Options &gt; Sound Notifications &gt; check the 'Disable All sounds' box. Sound notifications can be loud and prevent you from hearing the FC, especially with a lot of people in TeamSpeak connecting and disconnecting.<br>  
'''Disable Mumble sound notifications:''' In the Setting screen ''Configure Settings'' you can find ''Advanced settings'' check-box in the bottom left corner. With it checked you can access the Messages settings. From there you can disable popup and sound notifications about events you don't care about.

[[Voice Overlay|Voice Overlay]] can be useful if you want to see who's talking on your game screen. Not to be confused with TeamSpeak Overlay, which doesn't work well with Vista.<br>
