# Temp Voice

> Members create their own voice channels on demand and control them from a panel. Free on every tier.

A member joins the lobby, Vetox creates a voice channel for them and moves them into it. When the last person leaves, the channel is deleted.

<Note>
  Temp Voice must be enabled in [Server Setup](/en/server-management/setup). With the module off, this page shows nothing to configure.
</Note>

## Setting it up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a lobby channel">
    An existing voice channel, or let Vetox create one. Joining it is the trigger.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the category">
    Created channels are filed here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the name template">
    `{user}` inserts the owner's name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set defaults">
    Starting user limit, and whether new channels are locked or open.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Do not delete the lobby channel from Discord without clearing it here first — the trigger will silently stop working.
</Warning>

## The control panel

Owners manage their channel through a panel of buttons: rename, set a user limit, lock and unlock, hide and reveal, claim ownership, transfer it, invite, kick, ban, allow and deny individuals, and adjust region and bitrate.

<Note>
  A few of the panel's buttons appear in English regardless of your server's language.
</Note>

Each button can be switched off for your server. Switching one off removes it from the panel for everyone.

<Tip>
  On a large public server, turning off **Ban** and **Kick** avoids arguments about members policing each other's channels. Keep **Lock** and **Limit** — those are what people actually want.
</Tip>

## Moderator roles

<Info>
  Requires **Basic**.
</Info>

Moderator roles can join locked channels and control any channel's panel, not just their own.

## Ownership

The owner is whoever triggered the channel. If they leave while others stay, ownership can be **claimed** by someone still inside, or transferred deliberately before leaving.

## Multiple lobbies

<Warning>
  If you configure more than one lobby, **the panel settings shown on this page always belong to the first one**. Editing them while a second lobby is selected writes to the first.

  Until this is addressed, run a single lobby.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="No channel is created when I join the lobby">
    Check Temp Voice is on in Server Setup, that a lobby and category are set, and that Vetox has **Manage Channels** and **Move Members**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Channels are created but nobody is moved into them">
    **Move Members** is missing. Vetox can create the channel but not move anyone.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Channels are not deleted when empty">
    Usually permissions — Vetox needs Manage Channels on the category the channels are created in.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A button on the panel does nothing">
    It is switched off in this page's settings, or the person clicking is not the owner and has no moderator role.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Reverting to default changed settings I did not expect">
    Revert restores the built-in defaults, which may differ from the settings you originally saved. Review the page before saving after a revert.
  </Accordion>
