About Mumble

Mumble is a voice chat application built for low-latency, high-quality conversation, with encrypted communication and public/private-key authentication by default. Gamers use its in-game overlay and positional audio, while communities, podcasters, and workplaces run their own servers with a detailed permission system. Because it is free and open source, anyone can self-host a server and keep full control over their data and privacy.
