Getting Started

DiscMeet turns your Discord voice channels into searchable transcripts. This guide gets you recording in minutes.

Prerequisites

• The DiscMeet bot must be invited to your server.
• You need Manage Channels permission or be the server owner to set up and use the bot.

The mental model

DiscMeet works in three steps:

1. Join — The bot joins your voice channel.
2. Start — Recording begins; transcriptions will be posted when you stop.
3. Stop — Recording ends; the transcript is processed and posted.

3-step setup

1. Configure the bot

Run /discmeet setup to set:

• Transcription language (25 languages supported)
• Where notes are created (text or forum channel)
• Optional notifications channel for errors
• Who can start meetings (roles)
• Privacy (notes visible to everyone vs. participants only)

See Basic setup for details.

2. Join a voice channel

Run /discmeet join while in a voice channel. The bot will join and show buttons to start/stop recording.

3. Start recording

Click Start Recording or run /discmeet start. Speak for at least 1 minute for the best results.

When done, click Stop Recording or run /discmeet stop. Your transcript will be processed and posted to the configured channel.

Billing and browser settings

Sign in on discmeet.com  and open the dashboard  for your server’s browser tools.

Plans and billing — Change plan, manage add-ons (including multi-channel), and handle subscription and payment outside Discord-only flows.

Transcripts — Browse recent meeting transcripts in a list; delete a transcript when you need to (cleanup, mistakes, or sensitive content).

D&D — Work with campaigns, characters, and sessions in the browser; bulk import characters, bulk delete with filters, and assign characters to players. See D&D Characters for detail.

Voice and prompts — Map voice or stage channels to different text/forum channels; configure custom prompts (add-on). These replaced separate Discord slash commands for those flows—see Basic setup.

Settings tab — Consent opt-in, meeting access roles where available, transcription language, Transcription vocabulary, and MP3 recording (optional).

• Transcription vocabulary — Optional list of proper nouns and jargon for regular meetings (company names, product codenames, people’s names), comma-separated, up to 200 characters. Leave it blank if you do not need it. D&D sessions use your campaign characters, locations, and items instead—this field does not replace those.
• MP3 recording is off by default: you still get full transcripts. Turn it on when you want a downloadable full-session MP3 after each meeting—used for the recording link in Discord and for the audio.ready webhook.

Integrations (Pro+) — API to list transcripts over HTTP with a Bearer token (Zapier, Make, scripts, or your own stack); Webhooks for transcript.ready (always, when transcription finishes) and audio.ready when MP3 recording is enabled.

Billing and other sensitive areas are usually limited to server owner or admin, depending on the screen. See also Who can start meetings.

The setup modal in Discord may also link you to the site for advanced configuration.
