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 Administrator or Manage Server 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 (27 in the setup dropdown; underlying Whisper supports 100+)
• 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.

Plans and limits

You get 2 free recordings for life — meetings or RPG sessions, up to 1 hour each — as a trial. No credit card required.

To unlock unlimited hours, MP3 recordings, auto record and more, head to the dashboard  and upgrade.

Billing and browser settings

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

Plans and billing — Change plan (multi-channel recording is included with Pro+), and handle subscription and payment outside Discord-only flows.

Cancel or manage your subscription

Your subscription belongs to your Discord account, not to a server, so you can manage it from anywhere in the dashboard:

1. Sign in at discmeet.com/dashboard 
2. Open your profile menu (your Discord name in the dashboard sidebar)
3. Choose Manage subscription

This opens the billing portal, where you can cancel, update your card, or download invoices. It works even if you’ve removed DiscMeet from your servers: the dashboard shows a Manage subscription button on its empty screen in that case too. Cancelling stops the next renewal; your plan stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for.

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

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

Settings — Notes destinations, custom prompts (free on all plans), transcription vocabulary, Transcription only, MP3 recording and consent opt-in. See Dashboard settings for each one.

Integrations (Pro and above) — 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.
