Discord temporary voice channels: join to create

Owners control their rooms with /room commands. Empty rooms are removed after a configurable grace period. On restart, the enabled module keeps occupied rooms and removes tracked empty rooms when Discord access permits. Temporary Voice Rooms is opt-in and included in Pro; it only manages rooms it created.

Setup and room controls

Enable Temporary Voice Rooms on a Pro bot and use the normal regenerate/start workflow. Open Modules → Temporary Voice Rooms → Settings and select your Discord server.

Choose an existing voice channel for Join to create and a category for new rooms. Set the name template ({username} inserts a display name), the default user limit (0–99; 0 means unlimited), and the grace period (5–600 seconds; default 30). Save settings.

Give the bot View Channel, Connect, Move Members, Manage Channels and Manage Permissions in the category, and Move Members on the trigger channel. Join the trigger to create your room.

While in your room, use /room rename name, /room limit n, /room lock, /room unlock, /room permit @user, or /room transfer [@user]. Transfer targets must already be in the room. Lock denies Connect for @everyone; Discord administrator and explicit role/member permissions still apply. Clearing the trigger setting stops new creation while tracked rooms continue to receive cleanup.

Example: create a trigger named Join to create and select a category named Game Night. Keep the template {username}’s room and the default 30-second grace period. When Alex joins the trigger, the bot creates Alex’s room in Game Night and moves Alex there. These names illustrate a setup you can test in your own server.

While still in that room as its owner, Alex can run /room limit n:4 for a four-member limit, then /room lock and /room permit user:@Sam to allow Sam to connect. Lock changes @everyone’s Connect permission; an administrator or a member with another explicit allow may still connect. It does not disconnect members already in the room.

Alex can use /room rename name:Game Night to queue a new name; repeated requests replace the pending name, and renames are spaced up to ten minutes apart. To hand over control, use /room transfer user:@Sam after Sam has joined. If the owner leaves, ownership can pass to another remaining non-bot member.

When everyone leaves, the bot schedules deletion after the configured grace period and checks again that the room is empty before deleting it. Rejoining cancels that deletion. In this example, the default delay is 30 seconds; Discord permissions or API failures can delay cleanup. The Join to create trigger stays available for the next member. Test creation, owner commands, rejoining and final cleanup before opening it to your community.
