Editing Calling (section)

== Communication system ==
The in-game voice system is virtually unused in competitive play as it isn't perfect nor offers the amount of audio quality and customization the players need. So there are plenty of alternatives used, from TeamSpeak to Ventrillo. The staple of the competitive Team Fortress 2 community used to be [http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ '''Mumble'''], but the majority of players has since migrated to [https://discord.com/ '''Discord''']. Both are lightweight, open source, and offer good audio quality and customization, but Discord offers a more polished appearance and enhanced community features. Most teams will use Discord or Mumble to communicate and the most active [[Glossary#PUG.2C_Pickup | PUGs]] or [[Glossary#Mix | Mixes]] channels/websites will often enforce their usage, so they are essential pieces of software to the competitive scene.
