Multi-Channel Overview

Multi-Channel lets you transcribe multiple voice channels at the same time. Without it, the bot can only be active in one voice channel at a time.

What is Multi-Channel?

With the multi-channel addon:

  • Main bot — Handles one voice channel
  • Assistant bots — Additional bots that join other voice channels
  • Concurrent sessions — 1–5 simultaneous transcriptions depending on your addon quantity

When to use it

  • Multiple team meetings running in parallel
  • Several D&D tables recording at once
  • Different voice channels for different projects, all needing transcripts

How it works

  1. You add the multi-channel addon via /discmeet upgrade (1–5 concurrent channels).
  2. All assistant bots must be added to your server.
  3. When you run /discmeet join in a channel and the main bot is busy, an assistant bot joins instead.
  4. Each session is independent; stopping one doesn’t affect others.

Limits

  • Maximum 5 concurrent channels — If you need more, contact support.
  • All bots must be in the server — If an assistant bot isn’t in your server, you’ll see: “The assistant bot is not a member of this server. Please add all assistant bots to your server to use multi-channel transcription.”

Without multi-channel

If you try to start a meeting when the bot is already in another channel, you’ll see:

The bot is already active in another voice channel. Please wait for the current session to end, or use /discmeet stop in that channel first.
