Voice Channels¶
Star Org Labs manages two kinds of voice channel, and they behave differently on purpose.
Join-to-create channels (voice hubs)¶
A hub is a voice channel that makes channels. Join ➕ Create Squad and the bot spawns a
fresh channel shaped by that hub's template, moves you into it, hands you the controls, and
deletes it once the last person leaves.
These belong to you, not to an op. Use them for the pickup group at 2am that nobody scheduled.
As the owner of a spawned channel you get the usual controls — rename it, lock it, adjust who can join and speak. Renaming has a short cooldown, because Discord rate-limits channel renames and a spammed rename would leave the channel stuck with the wrong name for everyone.
Setting them up
Admins configure hubs and their templates in Server Settings → Voice. One template
can back several hubs, so you describe the shape once — "Squad Channel" — and attach it
to ➕ Create Squad and ➕ Create Wing alike, instead of maintaining two copies that
slowly drift apart.
Time spent in a hub channel does not count as event attendance. That's deliberate: hanging around in a party channel isn't the same as showing up for the op.
Event voice channels¶
These belong to an op and die with it. The event creates channels for its groups, the bot moves people around during the run, and everything is torn down when the op ends or is cancelled.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/create_vcs <id> |
Create temp channels for any of the event's teams that don't have one |
/move_event_crew <id> |
Pull every confirmed attendee into your current voice channel |
/start_op <id> |
Ping and DM signed-up members who aren't in voice yet |
Time in these channels is attendance — including for walk-ins who never signed up. See Events & Ops.
Give the two systems separate categories
If your voice hubs spawn into the same Discord category your ops use as their rally point, both systems compete for that category's 50-channel limit — and whoever asks for the 51st gets turned away mid-op. Server Settings warns you when you pick a colliding category. It's a legitimate choice for a small org; it just shouldn't be a surprise.
