# VoiceMaster: Create and Manage Temporary Voice Channels

> Use seize's VoiceMaster to create temporary, member-owned voice channels that clean up automatically when empty. Learn setup, owner commands, and admin defaults.

With seize's VoiceMaster feature, your server members can create their own temporary voice channels simply by joining a designated hub. Each channel is owned by the member who created it, giving them full control over visibility, permissions, and settings. When the last person leaves, the channel deletes itself automatically.

## How VoiceMaster Works

When an administrator sets up VoiceMaster, seize creates a category containing:

* A **Join to Create** voice channel (the hub)
* An **interface** text channel with button controls

Any member who joins the hub gets a personal voice channel. They become the owner and can manage it through commands or the interface buttons. The channel disappears once it is empty.

<Note>
  You need the **Administrator** permission to run setup and configuration commands.
</Note>

## Setup

Get VoiceMaster running in your server with a single command.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Run setup">
    Type `,voicemaster setup` (or `,vm setup`). seize creates a "VoiceMaster" category, a "Join to Create" voice channel, and an interface panel with control buttons.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Join the hub">
    Have members join the "Join to Create" channel. seize creates their temporary channel and moves them into it automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Reset VoiceMaster

To remove all VoiceMaster channels and start over, run:

```text theme={null}
,voicemaster reset
```

<Warning>
  This deletes the entire VoiceMaster category and all temporary channels inside it. This action cannot be undone.
</Warning>

## Owner Controls

Channel owners can manage their temporary voice channel using the interface buttons or text commands. All commands use the `,vm` prefix (for example, `,vm lock`).
