Connect to a server

Each server you add gets its own tab, and you can stay connected to more than one server at a time.

Add a server

1. Click Add server in the toolbar.
2. In Server address, type the address your server owner or host gave you, for example myguild.ventrilo.com.
3. Check User name: it is the name others see on this server.
4. If the server has a password, type it in Server password (optional). Leave it empty if there is none.
5. Leave Connect when Ventrilo starts on if you want this server to connect every time you open Ventrilo.
6. Click Add and connect.

Only add a port (myserver.example.com:4519) if your host gave you one. Without it, Ventrilo finds the port itself.

Join a channel

Double-click a channel to join it, or right-click it and choose Join channel. To leave, right-click and choose Back to the lobby.

A channel with a lock needs a password. Ventrilo asks for it when you join.

Your server tabs

To disconnect, click the X on the server's tab or middle-click the tab. The server stays in your tabs.

Right-click a server's tab for:

• Disconnect (the server stays in your tabs), or Connect when it is not connected;
• Edit... to change the address, your name, the password or Connect when Ventrilo starts;
• Remove... to take the server out of Ventrilo.

The status bar at the bottom shows whether you are connected, the server version, the voice codec, how many users are on and your ping.

Cannot connect? See Ventrilo cannot connect to the server.
