 Now I love Twitter as much as the next YouTuber for interacting with viewers, but it lacks that same personal touch that you can get from a voice conversation. And so began our epic search for the ultimate voice chat client that would serve our needs both from a gaming perspective as well as allowing us to enable live voice callers on The WAN Show, our weekly live stream. We looked at conventional gaming voice chat clients such as Mumble and Ventrilo, but what we realized is they don't really have friends, which makes us kindred spirits I suppose, but doesn't really help us manage the live interaction aspects of things. It doesn't give us that same degree of flexibility. They also mostly require hosting and managing a server, which if you've seen the uptime of LinusTechTips.com, you probably have some idea that we don't want to do too much more of that. They can also take a while for people to set up, which isn't really great for a spontaneous live viewer call in experience and having it be as seamless as possible. They also lack game overlay functionality, so if you were to use these on an ongoing basis besides just calling into The WAN Show, then... So then we were like, oh yeah, Skype! Skype's good for voice calling, but that was a total mess. You can have group chats, but if the leader leaves, then the whole thing shuts down. The overlays are clickable, which means that particularly from a gaming perspective, yeah, that will kill you. And last but not least, there's the fact that on Skype there's an exploit that allows the other callers to get your IP, which, whether you're streaming, in the middle of streaming if someone starts DDoSing you, or just for anyone in general, having people know your IP is an undesirable condition. So yeah. No. Enter Razor comms. The friends list is easy to manage, and you may already even have a Razor account, so you can sign right in and you're pretty much ready to go. You don't have to have a dedicated server, Razor hosts everything, so you can avoid having an awkward, totally not recommended server running in your bathroom. Overlays are helpful and not death inducing, and last but not least, chat rooms are permanent, and coming and going from them is a breeze. So guys, if you want to check out Razor comms, no, it's not going to make America skinny again one slap at a time, but what it might do is simplify your gaming voice chat experience, and guys, please use the Bitly link in the video description below to try out Razor comms, it'll help us out a whole lot. As always guys, don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos, let us know in the comments under the video what you think of Razor comms, and don't forget to like this video.
