Quick answers about regions, slots, audio quality, billing, and more.
Last updated December 23, 2025
Getting started
How fast is setup?
Servers are typically ready in under 30 seconds with a unique address and initial admin login.
Do I need my own server or VPS?
No. We host, secure, and manage the infrastructure so you can jump straight into voice.
Can I import my existing Mumble server data?
Yes. Upload your channels and ACL export in the panel or open a migration ticket—we’ll assist at no charge.
Do you support both Mumble and Murmur?
Yes. We run Murmur (the Mumble server) and support all standard Mumble clients.
What are “slots”?
Slots are the maximum simultaneous users connected to your server. You can upgrade or downgrade any time.
Minimum slot count?
Plans start at 10 slots and scale to 500+. Need more? Open a ticket for custom capacity.
Custom welcome message / server name?
Yes. Set your server name, welcome text, and channel tree from the panel.
Regions & latency
Which regions are available?
We offer multiple North America and Europe locations, plus select regions in South America and APAC. Pick the closest to your players for the lowest latency.
Can I change regions later?
Yes. Migrate between regions from the panel with near-zero downtime.
How do I test latency before ordering?
Use our region pingers in the panel or ask support for test IPs to ping and traceroute.
Domains & SSL
Do you offer custom domains and SSL?
Absolutely. Use yourteam.mumble.world or bring your own domain. We provision SSL automatically.
Can I use my existing subdomain?
Yes. Point a DNS record at your server hostname; we’ll issue SSL automatically once DNS is live.
Will the address change if I move regions?
Your custom domain stays the same. We update the target behind the scenes during migration.
Audio & codecs
Which codecs are supported?
We support Opus (recommended) and legacy codecs. Opus offers excellent quality at low bitrate.
Can I force a specific bitrate?
Yes. Configure per-channel bitrate limits and audio settings from the panel.
Push-to-talk vs voice activation?
Both work. We recommend push-to-talk for noisy environments to keep channels clean.
Music bots permitted?
Yes, as long as they comply with applicable laws and do not impact other customers.
Security & privacy
DDoS protection?
All regions include always-on network-level DDoS mitigation tuned for realtime voice traffic.
Access control lists (ACLs)?
Full Mumble ACLs are supported. Create roles, per-channel permissions, and temporary tokens.
Do staff listen to channels?
No. We cannot and do not monitor your live voice. We only access configs needed to operate the service.
Management & panel
Do I get a web panel?
Yes. Start, stop, restart, migrate regions, edit channels/ACLs, and manage users in one place.
Multiple admins?
Create panel sub-accounts with role-based permissions for staff or clan officers.
Channel hierarchy limits?
No hard limits for typical use. Extremely deep trees may impact usability—keep it tidy.
API access?
A simple token API is available for basic automation (start/stop, status, user notes).
Plans, billing & refunds
How is pricing calculated?
Monthly or annual per-server plans based on slots and region. Annual plans include a discount.
Can I upgrade/downgrade anytime?
Yes. Changes pro-rate instantly and apply without wiping your configuration.
Refund policy?
If we cannot resolve a service issue in the first 7 days, we’ll refund your first month on request.
Cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the panel; your server remains active until the end of the paid term.
Reliability
Uptime SLA?
We target 99.9% monthly uptime. Credits apply if we miss the target (see SLA in Terms).
Maintenance windows?
We announce routine maintenance in-panel and via email when it may affect connectivity.
What happens during a DDoS attack?
Traffic is scrubbed automatically. In extreme cases we may briefly re-route to maintain voice quality.
Customization
Channel icons and overlays?
Yes—upload icons, set descriptions, and use markdown in channel descriptions.
Temporary channels?
Enable temporary channels that delete themselves when empty to keep things clean.
Maximum channel users?
Set per-channel user limits and priority speaker to prevent chaos in large rooms.
Bots & integrations
Discord bridge or webhooks?
Community bridges exist. While we don’t officially support third-party bridges, you can run them if compliant with our ToS.
User verification with your website?
Common via tokens or OAuth on your site; our API can help you sync roles.
Clients & compatibility
Which clients can users install?
Official Mumble clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android are supported.
Older client compatibility?
We support a wide range of client versions; Opus codec recommended for best results.
Migration & scaling
Move from another host?
Yes—send us your Murmur ini and channel/ACL export; we’ll mirror your setup.
Scale to 1,000+ users?
Yes with clustering and sharding across channels. Contact us for a custom architecture.
Rate limits?
Fair-use limits protect everyone during abuse or misconfiguration; open a ticket if you need higher limits.
Compliance & legal
Content policy?
Servers must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy and applicable laws. Illegal content or harassment is not allowed.
Support
How do I reach support?
Open a ticket in the panel or email support; urgent incidents are monitored 24/7.
Do you have live chat?
Live chat is available during peak hours; tickets are fastest for technical issues.
Do you help set up channels/ACLs?
Absolutely—send us your requirements and we’ll build a starter structure.
