Members join one voice channel and ZombyIO opens a room just for them, moves them in and posts a panel of buttons in the room’s chat. They lock it, size it, let friends in or hand it over. When the last person leaves, the room is deleted.

Alex joins “Create a room”. A few seconds later Alex is in a room of their own, with a panel in its chat to lock it, size it and let people in.

Where to find it
Open the dashboard, pick your server and choose Temp voice rooms in the sidebar (on a phone: under Features in the bar at the bottom). That is two clicks from your server list. You can also press Ctrl K anywhere in the dashboard and type the name.
Step 1: Open Temp voice rooms and set up the join channel
In the dashboard, pick your server and choose Temp voice rooms in the sidebar. Under Set up the channel members join, press Create it for me: ZombyIO makes a category and a voice channel in it and switches the feature on.
You can also pick a voice channel you already have. Whoever joins it gets a new room, and the room opens in the same category.
Important
ZombyIO needs Manage Channels, Move Members and Connect where the rooms open. The invite asks for them; Server Check tells you if one is missing.

Step 2: Choose how rooms are named
Under Choose how rooms are named, type a name or press one of the ideas. {name} becomes the owner’s name as the server shows it, {number} the room’s number. Left empty, rooms are called “{name}’s room” in your server’s language.

Step 3: Choose how many people fit
Under How many people fit, pick a size or No limit. Owners can change it in their own room later, if you let them.

Step 4: Pick the kind of room
Under What kind of room it opens, a card sets size and start at once:
Duo: two people, open to anyone.
Squad: five people, open to anyone.
Lounge: no limit, open to anyone.
Private: no limit, locked from the start.
How a new room starts decides the start on its own: Open, Locked (everyone sees it, only people the owner lets in can join) or Hidden (only the owner and their guests see it).

Step 5: Save, then try it
Press Save in the bar at the bottom. Then join the channel in Discord: you are moved into a room of your own, and the panel appears in the room’s chat. Open the chat with the speech bubble on the room.
Tip
Leave the room and watch it go after the time under Delete empty rooms after, 30 seconds to start with.

Step 6: Decide what owners may do
Under Buttons owners get, switch off what owners should not change. The panel then leaves that button out:
Lock and Unlock: only people inside, and those let in, can join.
Hide and Show: the room disappears for everyone else.
Limit: how many people fit.
Rename: a new name, and a short line under it in the channel list.
Let in: people who may join even while the room is locked or hidden.
Kick: someone has to leave; a second button blocks them too.
Hand over: someone else in the room becomes the owner.
Claim is always on the panel: when the owner has left, anyone still in the room can take it over.
Tip
Staff with Manage Channels can use every room’s buttons, whatever is switched off here.

Step 7: Let owners look for players
Under Channel for player searches, pick a text channel. Owners then get a Find players button: it posts their room in that channel with a Join button and, for a locked room, a Knock button. A knock appears in the room’s chat, and the owner lets the person in with one click. The post is deleted when the room closes.

Step 8: Add more join channels for different rooms
One join channel is the whole feature on the free plan. Premium runs up to 10, each with its own name, size and start: a Duo, a Squad and a Chill channel side by side. Press Add a join channel under Your join channels.

Every setting explained
In the order the page shows them. Names in bold are exactly what the dashboard calls each control.
Rooms and their owners
Buttons owners get
Which buttons the panel shows. Claim is always there. Staff with Manage Channels can use every button in every room.
Hand the room on when its owner leaves
On by default. An owner who left gets a minute to come back; after that, whoever has been in the room longest becomes the owner. Off, somebody presses Claim.
Remember each owner’s room
On by default. A member’s next room opens with the name they last gave a room, its size, lock and the people they let in or blocked. Kept for 180 days after their last room, and deleted with their account.
Delete empty rooms after
From right away to an hour; 30 seconds to start with. A short wait lets somebody whose connection dropped come back to their room.
Find players
Channel for player searches
Off by default, which also hides the button. A room can post once every five minutes.
More about this join channel
Name
Only for you, to tell join channels apart on this page. Up to 40 characters.
Where rooms open
Where this join channel’s rooms open. Unset, they open in the join channel’s own category. Discord fits 50 channels in a category.
Sound quality
Discord’s standard, or from 64 to 384 kbps. Above 96 kbps needs server boosts; without them, rooms open at Discord’s standard.
Rooms open at once
How many rooms this join channel may have open at once. At most 50, which is what fits in a category.
This join channel opens rooms
Off keeps the join channel’s settings, and joining it does nothing.
Join channelsFree: 1 · Premium: 10
Counted from the top of the list. When Premium ends, join channels past the free plan’s limit stay saved and paused, and work again with Premium.
Free and Premium
Premium costs €6 a month per server and is shared by every admin of that server. It raises limits, it does not unlock the feature.

Something not working?
The problems people run into most often, and how to fix each one.
I join the channel and nothing happens
Check these in order:
The feature is off, or the change was not saved.
The channel you joined is not set as a join channel, or This join channel opens rooms is off.
The join channel is past your plan’s limit and paused.
ZombyIO lacks Manage Channels or Move Members where the rooms open. A short note in the join channel’s chat says so.
The category holds 50 channels, the most Discord allows.
When you already run a room on the server, joining moves you back into it instead of opening a second one.
I renamed my room and the name did not change
Discord renames a channel at most twice in ten minutes. ZombyIO keeps the new name and applies it by itself the moment Discord allows; the panel shows when that will be. The line under the name changes at once.
An empty room is still there
It goes after the time under Delete empty rooms after. If ZombyIO was briefly offline when the last person left, it checks the rooms it did not hear from once it is back, and deletes the empty ones then.
The owner left. Who runs the room now?
After a minute, whoever has been in the room longest, if Hand the room on when its owner leaves is on. Otherwise anyone in the room can press Claim. The old owner stays let in, so they can come back to a locked room.
Someone joined a locked room
People the owner let in can always join, and so can anyone with the Administrator permission, which Discord lets past every lock. Everyone else needs a knock.
Where is the panel with the buttons?
In the room’s own text chat. Click the speech bubble on the room in the channel list. If somebody deleted the panel, the next change to the room posts it again.
A join channel says it is paused
It is past your plan’s limit, because Premium ended. Join channels run from the top of the list, so delete one above it or get Premium again.
Ask in the ZombyIO support server. Bring your support ID, your server’s support ID and a sentence about what you expected to happen, and someone will look at it with you.
