# Voice Relay slash commands

Last updated: 2026-11-06

> /start and /stop control the relay and need the starter role (or Manage Server). /status shows whether it's live and how many callers are speaking; /ping shows latency and your subscription — anyone can use those. /start-cross-server and /stop-cross-server run alliance relays.

## Commands

| Command | Who | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `/start` | Starter role | Speaker bots join their channels and the relay goes live. |
| `/stop` | Starter role | Every bot leaves. |
| `/status` | Anyone | Whether it's live and how many callers are speaking. |
| `/ping` | Anyone | Relay latency and the server's subscription. |
| `/start-cross-server` | Starter role | Relay to the speaker channels of both [allied servers](https://www.nocapbots.com/docs/voice-relay/alliances.md). |
| `/stop-cross-server` | Starter role | End the cross-server relay. |

`/attendance-start`, `/attendance-stop` and `/attendance` belong to Attendance, in beta — see [tracking a fight](https://www.nocapbots.com/docs/attendance/track-a-fight.md#commands).

## What /start checks

Before joining voice, `/start` checks the four requirements from [configuration](https://www.nocapbots.com/docs/voice-relay/configuration.md#requirements) and reports any channel a bot can't access or that is full. It won't start by itself — someone has to run it.
