I have a Teamspeak server with a company called Multiplay. I have my domain on Digital Ocean's name servers.

Looking around online, it appears I need to set a SRV record. Do I create a new domain entry in Digital Ocean, or add a subdomain somehow on the domain's existing entry in the Digital Ocean panel?

My end goal is for domain.com to go to a website and ts.domain.com to connect to the Teamspeak server in the Teamspeak client.

Thanks for any help that can be given.

Then create an SRV record. It should look something like this:
