Where Does TeamSpeak Store Identities and Settings?
TeamSpeak 3 client settings.db location on Windows, macOS and Linux for identity backup and migration.
Last updated
The TeamSpeak 3 client keeps identities, bookmarks and options in a settings.db file under a TS3Client folder. That one file is the migration unit.
myTeamSpeak cloud sync changes the math: synced items restore on login without any folder copy. Local only items still need settings.db moved by hand.
Where TeamSpeak stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\TS3Client\settings.db
Copy the whole TS3Client folder with the client closed. Needs write permission on settings.db or settings silently fail to save.
~/Library/Application Support/TeamSpeak 3 Client/settings.db
Same role. In Finder use Go > Go to Folder. Newer TeamSpeak 5/6 builds use different folder names; check for those if this path is absent.
~/.ts3client/settings.db
Same layout. Keep a recovery key or password with the backup; identities without either cannot restore.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move my TeamSpeak identity to a new PC?
Copy settings.db (or the whole TS3Client folder) into place with the client closed. Have the password or recovery key ready.
Why did my copied settings.db change nothing?
myTeamSpeak sync likely overwrote local files on login. Disconnect sync first, or export the identity properly from Settings, Identities.
