GSC makes it easy for your clan to find games, track stats, communicate using voice, and send instant messages without ever leaving your game.

How do I create my own voice server?
Select the File menu on the GSC buddy list panel and click 'Create Voice Server'. You will then need to select a unique name for your voice channel and the geographic location you would like it to be hosted in. For the highest possible voice quality select a location closest to you.

Open your Voice Channel and click the 'Manage Server' button in the upper left hand corner of the Voice Channel Window.
