Bot Not Joining Voice
If the bot won’t join your voice channel, work through this checklist.
No transcription channel set
Error: No transcription channel set! Use /discmeet setup first to set a channel for meeting transcripts.
Fix: Run /discmeet setup and configure the transcription channel before using /discmeet join.
Transcription channel deleted
Error: Transcription channel no longer exists! Use /discmeet setup to set a new one.
Fix: Run /discmeet setup and select a new channel for transcriptions.
Bot missing permissions in voice channel
Error: The bot doesn’t have permission to join the voice channel.
The bot needs in the voice channel:
- Connect
- View Channel
Fix: Check channel permissions. Ensure the bot role (or the bot’s permission overwrites) has Connect and View Channel. If needed, re-invite the bot from discmeet.com with the correct permissions.
No bots available (multi-channel)
Error: No Bots Available. All bots are currently busy or unable to join.
Why: the main bot and every assistant installed in your server are already recording other channels. Assistants you haven’t installed are skipped, so you only need as many as the channels you record at once.
Fix: Wait for a recording to end, or run /discmeet stop in a channel you’re done with. To record one more channel at the same time, install another assistant from the dashboard (Pro+ and Studio).
Main bot busy (single-channel)
Error: 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. Need multi-channel? It’s included with Pro+ — upgrade at discmeet.com/dashboard .
Fix: Either wait for the current session to end, run /discmeet stop in the active channel, or upgrade to Pro+ for multi-channel at discmeet.com/dashboard .
All bots unavailable (multi-channel)
Error: All bots are currently busy or unable to join. Please wait for a current session to end and try again.
Fix: Wait for a session to end, or run /discmeet stop in an active channel to free a bot.
Re-invite the bot
If permissions are wrong or the bot is misconfigured:
- Go to discmeet.com
- Re-invite the bot with the correct permissions
- Ensure the bot has permission to view and join your voice channels
