- Open Mumble and click “Add New…”.
- Fill out the add server window with the necessary information. You can find our current address on the services page. Use the standard port - it should be 64738. Make sure that you have no blank spaces from copying your username into the username field. It does not matter what you put as Label. Click on “Ok”.
- You can now connect to our Mumble server. Upon the first connection you will get the following popup. Paste your password into it to finish the setup.
- After your first connection you will no longer need to enter your password. If you for any reason need to change or reset your password you can do that on the services page.
