RingVC

A discord bot that tries to replicate Group Chat behavior in server Voice Channels

• Servers can't ring people, like in Group Chats, so bot just pings people in the Voice Channel Text Chats instead

Commands

  • A quick description of all the commands
• /signup
  • signs you up for a voice channel, so once someone "starts" a call there (joins it when it's empty), you get pinged
• /unsignup
  • un-signs you up for a voice channel, so you no longer get pinged
• /ring
  • pings someone to join the voice channel you're currently in
• /block
  • blocks someone, which prevents them from ringing you and makes it so you don't get pinged if they start a call
• /unblock
  • unblocks someone
• /mode
  • allows you to switch between auto, normal, and stealth modes
    • stealth means that you don't ping anyone when "starting" a call
