Ventrilo (or Vent for short) is a proprietary VoIP software that includes text chat.
The Ventrilo client and server are both available as freeware for use with up to 8 people on the same server. Rented servers can maintain up to 400 people.[2] The Ventrilo server is available under a limited license for Microsoft Windows and macOS and is accessible on FreeBSD Kopi, Solaris and NetBSD. The client is available for Windows and macOS.[3] However, the macOS client is still unable to properly use most servers because of a lack of support for the sparsely used GSM codec. Flagship Industries does not offer a Linux Ventrilo client.[4] Third party Ventrilo clients are available for mobile devices, such as Ventrilode for iPhone[5] and Ventriloid for Android.[6]
Ventrilo supports the GSM Full Rate codec[citation needed] and used to support the Speex codec, which Ventrilo 4.0.0 replaced with the Opus codec.
