Quick tour of the UI

This is the main chat view once you are connected. Three columns, each doing one job.

 Screenshot placeholder: full chat view with channels left, chat center, members right.

1. Channel sidebar (left)

• The server name and a status pip live at the top.
• Channels are folder-like containers. Clicking a channel joins voice and shows that channel’s chat.
• A small badge on a channel name means persistent chat is enabled, meaning your messages will still be there next time you connect.
• Right-click a channel to edit, link, delete, or set ACLs (if you have permission).
• Three sidebar looks are available. Switch in Personalization:
  • Classic, closest to traditional Mumble.
  • Flat, compact look.
  • Modern, large icons and soft glass.

2. Chat (center)

The chat column is more than just text:

• Formatted text with bold, italic, code, lists, and links.
• Type @ to mention a user or a role.
• Type : to pick an emoji, including custom server emotes.
• A GIF browser is one click away (paperclip, GIF icon).
• Polls with multiple options and a live vote count.
• Attachments: drop a file or paste an image to start the share dialog.
• Reactions: hover a message, click the smiley.
• Pin important messages from the context menu. Pinned messages appear in a tray at the top.
• Reply and quote by right-clicking a message.
• Read receipts show who has read what.
• Mobile call controls are an overlay bar at the bottom on Android.

Tip

Selecting multiple messages (long-press on mobile, shift-click on desktop) reveals the message selection bar for bulk copy or delete.

3. Member panel (right)

• The active speaker gets a soft green ring.
• Click any user to open their profile card, with bio, frame, and nameplate.
• Right-click for the user context menu, with private message, mute, deafen, kick, ban, and role-change options.
• Edit your own profile from Settings, Profile.

4. Header bar

The top bar gives you global controls:

• Mute and Deafen toggles.
• Push-to-talk indicator, lights up when you are transmitting.
• Voice level meter.
• Settings icon, opens the full settings page.
• Admin icon, opens the admin panel if you have permission.
• Activity log, server-wide activity. Useful for moderators.

5. Stream grid (when screen sharing)

When anyone in the channel is sharing a screen, a stream grid appears between the chat and the member list. See Screen sharing.

6. Settings

Opens an overlay with tabs:

• Profile, your name, avatar, banner, bio, nameplate, frame, name style.
• Voice and Audio, devices, activation mode, noise suppression, gate, gain, quality.
• Personalization, themes, fonts, channel-viewer style, bubble style, chat background.
• Notifications, per-event sounds, push, focus rules.
• Shortcuts, global hotkeys for push-to-talk, mute, deafen, and more.
• Privacy, what you share with the server.
• Identities, your saved identities for different servers.
• Advanced, expert mode, log level, GIF key, time format, auto-update, reset.
