Voice Channel Management
Complete guide to SYNTHET's voice module covering auto-voice creation, user-facing channel management commands, staff controls, and dashboard configuration for dynamic voice channel organization.
Quick Start (5 Minutes)
- 1. Access SYNTHET dashboard Voice section
- 2. Create or designate a voice hub channel (join-to-create)
- 3. Configure channel naming template and user limit
- 4. Set default bitrate and permissions
- 5. Test by joining the hub channel to auto-create a voice channel
- 6. Users can now manage channels with /voice commands
Core Features
Auto-Voice Channels
Automatically create temporary voice channels when users join designated hub. Channels are dynamically named and auto-deleted when empty.
Owner Controls
Channel creators can rename, lock, set limits, adjust bitrate, manage permissions, and ghost (hide) their channels.
Voice Statistics
Track voice time, leaderboards, peak concurrent users, and detailed per-channel analytics for insights.
Dashboard Control
Configure settings, monitor active channels, manage hubs, and track statistics all from the intuitive dashboard.
User Channel Management Commands
Channel creators can customize and manage their voice channels with these commands. All commands work on channels the user created.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/voice name <text> | Rename your voice channel to a custom name |
/voice limit <number> | Set user capacity limit for your channel (1-99) |
/voice bitrate <kbps> | Set audio quality in kbps (8-384, depends on server boost level) |
/voice lock | Lock channel to prevent new users from joining |
/voice unlock | Unlock channel to allow new users to join |
/voice ghost | Hide channel from channel list (invisible to non-members) |
/voice unhide | Show channel in channel list again |
/voice slowmode <seconds> | Set slowmode delay for text in voice channel chat |
/voice nsfw | Toggle NSFW content flag for the channel |
/voice region <region> | Set voice server region for optimal connection quality |
/voice permissions <user> <action> | Grant or revoke specific user access to your channel |
/voice permit <user> | Allow specific user to access a locked channel |
/voice reject <user> | Block specific user from accessing your channel |
/voice claim | Claim ownership of an abandoned channel |
/voice delete | Delete your voice channel permanently |
Admin Setup Commands
Admins use these commands to configure and manage the voice system globally. Requires admin permissions.
Core Setup
/voice setup
Initialize voice system in a designated voice channel (hub/join-to-create)
Hub Configuration
Once setup, configure default settings via dashboard:
- • Default user limit for auto-created channels
- • Channel naming template with {user}, {game}, {count} variables
- • Default bitrate quality
- • Parent category for auto-created channels
- • Maximum concurrent channels per hub
- • Auto-cleanup delay when channel empties
Voice Statistics & Analytics
User Voice Time
Track total hours each user has spent in voice channels with real-time accumulation. View personal statistics and compare with server community.
Leaderboards
Ranked lists showing most active voice users by all-time, monthly, and weekly metrics. Includes milestone badges (50h, 100h, 500h, 1000h+) for achievements.
Peak & Trend Analysis
Historical data on maximum concurrent users, busiest times of day, and usage pattern trends. Identify when your community is most active.
Channel Metrics
Per-channel analytics including total active time, unique user count, average session length, and peak concurrent occupancy across hub channels.
Key Capabilities
Dynamic Naming
Auto-generated channel names using {user}, {game}, {count} variables. Fully customizable per hub for automatic personalization.
Permission Management
Channel creators can permit/reject specific users, lock channels, set user limits, and transfer ownership with simple commands.
Privacy Controls
Lock/unlock channels, hide from public listings (ghost mode), and manage member access with granular permission controls.
Auto-Cleanup
Automatic deletion of empty channels with configurable delay. Keeps server clean while allowing rejoin. Smart cache management.
Dashboard Configuration Guide
Use the SYNTHET dashboard to set up and manage voice hubs. Configure defaults that apply to all auto-created channels.
Hub Configuration
- 1. Voice HubSelect the voice channel to use as join-to-create hub
- 2. Channel NamingSet naming template with variables for auto-created channels
- 3. User LimitsConfigure default user capacity and max concurrent channels
- 4. Audio QualitySet default bitrate (8-384 kbps based on server boost level)
- 5. Channel CategorySpecify parent category where temporary channels are organized
- 6. Auto-CleanupSet delay before empty channels are deleted (30s-5min recommended)
Naming Template Variables
{user} - Channel creator's username{count} - Sequential count of channels created{game} - Game user is playing (if available){user}-channel → john-channelcall-{count} → call-1, call-2, call-3Best Practices & Tips
- • Create multiple hubs for different use cases (gaming, study, casual hangout, events)
- • Use meaningful naming templates that help users identify channel purpose at a glance
- • Set reasonable user limits based on your server's typical voice activity
- • Use /voice ghost for private group channels to keep server listings clean
- • Monitor voice statistics to understand peak activity times and community patterns
- • Encourage users to customize their channels with /voice name and /voice limit
- • Set appropriate bitrate based on server boost level (higher boost = higher available bitrate)
- • Use /voice permit and /voice reject to manage access to private channels
- • Set slowmode in channels with heavy chat activity to reduce spam
- • Monitor leaderboards to recognize active community members
- • Use voice region command if your server spans multiple geographic locations
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Channels not being created when joining hub
Verify hub is properly set up in dashboard. Check bot permissions to create channels. Ensure parent category exists and is configured.
Channels not auto-deleting when empty
Check auto-cleanup delay setting in dashboard. Verify bot has permission to delete channels. Some channels may have permissions that prevent deletion.
Bitrate changes not applying
Bitrate may be limited by server boost level. Higher boosts unlock higher bitrates (up to 384 kbps). Check your server's current boost level.
Missing /voice commands in Discord
Restart Discord to refresh command list. Ensure Voice module is enabled on your server. Check bot has proper permissions and intents.
FAQ
→Can I have multiple voice hubs?
Yes! Create separate hubs for different purposes (gaming, study, casual). Each hub can have different settings, naming templates, and limits.
→What happens if I lock my channel?
New users cannot join. Existing members remain. Use /voice permit to allow specific users. Anyone with permissions can still access via link.
→How do voice statistics work?
SYNTHET tracks when each user joins/leaves voice channels. Time is accumulated and displayed in leaderboards. Statistics help identify community engagement patterns.
→Can I transfer ownership of my channel?
Use /voice claim to take ownership of abandoned channels. Currently, direct ownership transfer requires mod/admin intervention. Consider using /voice permit to give others control.
→What's the difference between ghost and lock?
Ghost hides channel from the channel list (invisible to non-members) but allows new users to join if they find it. Lock prevents new users from joining entirely.
