First Steps

What do I do first?

You've just added Soundbort to your server. What next?

Playing samples

Just join a voice channel and type /list. You will see a list standard samples as clickable buttons. Go ahead and press one!

Type /list to see all available samples.

Soundbort should've joined you in your voice channel and played a short audio meme. Try another, this time it will be faster, because it doesn't have to join the voice channel first. You can also make Soundbort join your voice channel without playing anything by typing /join and you can make it leave by typing /leave.

Adding your own samples

You like where this is going? Great! Then let's upload some of your own samples!

Type /upload, write down a name. Now either click on the "+2 more" and select "audio-file" or hit TAB after inputting the name. Grab yourself an audio file you might have laying around and drag it on the drag-and-drop area. All common audio formats should be supported. Now just execute the command with ENTER.

Click on "+2 more" or press TAB after writing the name to upload a file right through the command.

Alternatively you can upload a file into chat and execute the command afterwards. The file doesn't have to be uploaded by you for Soundbort to use it.

Command for adding an audio sample to your soundboard.

Be aware of the current upload limitations. You can view them on the Limitations page.

If all went well, Soundboard should tell you it was "successfully added".

If you've encountered problems uploading your sample and Soundbort wasn't of much help resolving those issues, head over to the Github and check for any already existing issues or open a new issue.

Now you have added your first sample. Click the "Play" button to play it back. Type /list again to see it pop up in the list.

By default /upload always adds samples to your personal soundboard. If you're interested in adding samples to your server soundboard, check out the next page Server Guide.

Removing samples from your soundboard

If you don't like something about your sample or want to make room for more, you can click the delete button below the sample info.

Sample info with delete button.

Alternatively, if the sample info was deleted or you don't want to find it, you can type /delete and provide the name of the sample. The command will give you a list of matching samples that you can delete and in which soundboard they are in.

Command to remove a sample from your soundboard.

If all went well, Soundboard should tell you it was removed and from which soundboard.

Get more soundboard slots

By default each user and server gets 10 slots they can fill with samples. To get more slots, users can upvote the bot on Top.GG once every 12 hours. On weekends you even get two slots per vote!

You can also get the link to the bot page by typing /vote. Those links are also personalised, that means other users can click these links to give YOU soundboard slots. When the command is executed in a server, this also includes a link to give the server soundboard slots.
