Basic Setup

Use /discmeet setup to configure the transcription bot for your server. You need Administrator or Manage Server permission, or be the server owner.

Language

Choose your preferred transcription language. The setup dropdown lists 27 curated languages (everything you’d typically run a meeting or RPG session in); the underlying Whisper model handles 100+ if you set the language via the dashboard.

English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch
Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional)
Arabic, Russian, Serbian, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Czech, Hungarian, Greek, Latvian, Hebrew, Thai

Transcription channel (Notes channel)

Where meeting transcripts are posted. You can choose:

Text channel — Transcripts appear as threads
Forum channel — Transcripts appear as forum posts

The channel must support thread creation. The bot needs Send Messages and Manage Threads in this channel.

Notifications channel (optional)

Optional text channel for errors and reminders. Text channels only. If not set, notifications go to the transcription channel.

Meeting access roles

Select 0–25 roles that can start meetings. If empty, only administrators can start meetings.

Privacy

Enabled — Meeting notes visible only to participants
Disabled — Meeting notes visible to everyone on the channel

Channel requirements

The transcription channel must grant the bot:

Send Messages
Manage Threads
View Channel

If the bot is missing permissions, you’ll see an error. Go to Server Settings → Integrations → Bots & Apps, find DiscMeet, and grant the required permissions. Or re-invite the bot from discmeet.com .

More settings

Everything else, such as notes destinations, custom prompts and transcription vocabulary, is set in the dashboard. See Dashboard settings.
