Voice Channels and Calls

Voice channels are live rooms inside a server. Join one when you want to talk, share camera, or share your screen.

Join a Voice Channel

1. Open the server from the left server rail.
2. Find Voice Channels in the server side panel.
3. Click the voice channel you want to join.
4. Allow microphone access if your system asks.
5. Use the voice controls to manage your call.

When you join, other users in the same voice channel can hear you unless you are muted. Users in other voice channels are not part of your live voice room.

Voice Controls

The voice controls can include:

Control	What it does
Mute microphone	Stops sending your microphone audio.
Deafen	Stops playback and usually mutes your microphone too.
Camera	Starts or stops webcam video.
Screen share	Shares a screen or window.
Settings	Opens voice device and quality settings.
Leave	Disconnects from the voice channel.

Screen Sharing

1. Join a voice channel.
2. Click screen share.
3. Choose a screen or window.
4. Choose whether to include system audio when available.
5. Stop sharing from the voice controls when done.

The screen share picker can show screens and windows. Desktop audio support depends on operating system support and the selected source.

Voice Workspace

When someone shares camera or screen, the voice workspace can expand into a larger media area. It can show focused streams, a grid of streams, or a minimized mini-window.

Troubleshooting

You hear nobody	Check deafen, output device, output volume, and whether others are in the same voice channel.

Voice and screen sharing use peer-to-peer WebRTC media. The signaling server helps users connect, but the media itself travels through peer connections.
