Hello and welcome to Chriscross23’s guide to obtaining and operating ventrilo.
Ventrilo is an audio program used to talk to other people online. Sort of like Skype and a lot like Teamspeak (except better). In this guide I will touch on how to obtain ventrilo, how to use it, and some tips and tricks to ventrilo. I will start it off by how to obtain it.
First things first, to use Ventrilo you must first download it. To download it we must go to www.ventrilo.com once there, you should see a screen that looks like this:
Once you are here you should look at the left hand side and find the quick link that says download. It has a red box over it in the picture above. Once you have clicked that it will bring you to a page that looks like this.
Once you have downloaded it you just need to install it. Installing Ventrilo is very self explanatory and if you don’t know how to do it just spam click the next button. Congratulations you have now downloaded Ventrilo.
Next I will talk about how to use Ventrilo. First after it has been installed you should run it. Once you have ran it a screen should pop up. Everything should be blank but you should see “Name†“Server†and “Bindingsâ€. Click on the arrow next to name as I have highlighted below
Follow these steps in the pictures below
Now that you have connected to vent you should see a list of channels (assuming you got a vent IP from a friend or someone else who uses vent). On the right column you should see a button that says setup. This is where you chose all of your settings. Personally the settings that I have selected work perfectly for myself so you can either use mine or fidget around with your own.
Once you have done all the settings you should look at the top of the screen at the tab that says “Eventsâ€. I personally turn all of mine off so you do not hear whenever someone moves into the channel, disconnects off vent, or reconnects. It gets very annoying so I have turned mine off. Feel free to leave yours on but this is what mine look like:
After you have turned all of those off you should click the tabs that say “Binds†and “Speechâ€. You should uncheck every option it gives you in those because that stops you from being “page bombedâ€. A page bomb is where someone spasm you with messages that make your vent go non responsive.
Well that is my guide and I hope it helped you maybe learn a few new things or taught you a lot. Thank you and feedback is always welcome.
