Group Communication Software RaidCall
Voice communication has become an essential part of multiplayer gaming, from professional e-sports to guilds in World of Warcraft, video gamers and friends who play shooters or strategy games in the evening. PC gamers basically have the choice between three different types of voice communication applications.
First those that are implemented directly in a game, then third party software that uses client and server communication, and finally software that requires only a client.
RaidCall belongs to the third group, as users only need to install the client software to use the voice communication software. That's different from comparable solutions such as Teamspeak or Ventrilo which both require a server running the server software before they can be used.
RaidCall clients communicate directly with a master server that transfers the data to the connected clients. Because of this, it supports up to 1000 clients per channel. The number of clients per server is however limited to 30 at this moment. It can be increased by inviting new users. Each new user increases the limit by one.
Users can log in anonymously to start chatting right away, or create a free account which is required to create a free Raidcall server and use the friend's list for basic social networking features.
One interesting feature of Raidcall is the ability to display an overlay control window whenever it is needed. Raidcall uses less resources than Teamspeak, the only other voice communication software we had installed on our test server. The software used about 27 Megabytes of RAM while running on the 64-bit test system, compared to the 40 Megabytes of Teamspeak.
The audio quality was okay. One negative aspect compared to Teamspeak was the missing option to change the audio codec, to accommodate for lower or higher bandwidth groups.
RaidCall is an interesting alternative, considering that it does not require a rented or hosted server to communicate in groups. The voice communication software is available for download at the developer site.

Does it come back after every “moment” update?
Yeah right.. Like this is going to stop defender from running =) This is comedy gold right here.
no ‘about the author’ paragraph?
For permanent disable defender is if removed complete from system no just change permission folder.
Just this is joke.
simpler, load Autoruns (SysInternals)
– filter “Defender”
– untag all entries
– reboot
nothing has changed since my 1st modification years ago
I wouldn’t disable Defender imho, it has too many hidden roots inside Windows itself. One time I tried to uninstall it using brute force scripts and then the Onedrive feature stopped working definitely. A reinstallation was needed and since those times I prefer to maintain Defender untouched. It’s a better method to install another antivirus and it will disable Defender in a safer and easier mode (e.g., Avast is the best in this way, and also Panda Cloud Free is good too).
You can not stop defender from running in background or remove it without some penalty. All you can do is to limit telemetry.
@borts,
It’s probably Smartscreen which is preventing WD from being disabled. Get rid of that and the problem should be solved: https://thegeekpage.com/disable-windows-defender-smartscreen/#How_to_disable_the_Windows_Defender_SmartScreen_via_Local_Group_Policy_Editor
Remove Windows and go for Linux.
Linux sucks dude. Besides it’s not comparable to Windows, these OSes are in different classes entirely.
I use Linux as my daily driver. It’s far more stable than Windows. When’s the last time you used Linux, 2010?
@basingstoke
You’re right, dude. Bro, linux is just a bunch of code that starts before the OS, dude. Brobrodude, that shit ain’t even got emojis, dudebrodudeman! Dudebro, it’s no way near as cool as Windows with its hardcoded abilities to make money off the user, bro. Yo brodude man, you’re the coolest dude ever man, bro. Dude.
Lol what? Windows 7 doesn’t come with any Emojis
Download Autoruns and remove the checkmark from Windows Defender. It doesn’t remove it, but it will never run. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
Just use “Defender Control”:

Per this video,

it also works on Windows 11 too…
Win Defender, is completly the most succesful free-built in antivirus of Microsoft. Really nice product. Saved my ass a lot of times. Has updated malware database, completly strong defence
from whatever smart screen disables. Or if you want better and more upgrated (paid) program,
you can go further. But defender is always on your side.
Why would one disable Windows (or Microsoft) Defender in the first place?. I consider this to be playing with fire big time. Everybody knows that if one is using another A-V, Defender will be disabled on its own and won’t be in one’s way.
Why would I want to disable Windows Defender in the first place? It’s a great anti virus in my opinion. Been using it since Windows 8 and and never had a problem or a virus. Why mess with a good thing, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
How a ridiculous article!
I am thoroughly stunned.
Why Should You Disable First-Party Windows Defender?
I can only think that it is “malice or perversely intention (want you to buy a third-party AV where you can expect a back margin)” to guide invalidation without showing the premise.
No sane company will use third-party closed source programs (such as AV).
As I thought, “Ghacks Technology News” seems to be coming to downfall.
