How to Set Up dcshot on Your Discord Server

dcshot is a voice relay service for Discord, built for MMO raid callouts: one shot caller, heard in every party voice channel at once. Everything is set up in the web dashboard, there are no chat commands to learn, and players install nothing. The whole setup takes about ten minutes.

Requirements

• A Discord account with the Manage Server permission on the server you want to set up.
• Your party voice channels created as usual, one per party.
• Nothing else. Every new server starts with 500 free credits, no card required.

Setup, step by step

1. Sign in with Discord. Go to dcshot.com and click Sign in. Use the Discord account that has Manage Server on your server.
2. Register your Discord server. Pick your server from the list and click Add DC Shot Bot to Discord. Discord shows the permissions the main bot asks for; confirm, and your tenant is created with 500 free credits.
3. Install the voice bots. The Getting started checklist in the dashboard walks you through inviting the relay voice bots (DC Shot 1, DC Shot 2 and so on). Each bot covers exactly one voice channel.
4. Configure rooms. Select which voice channels dcshot should manage. These are your normal party channels; you can change the selection anytime.
5. Activate bots. Choose how many relay bots to run this month, one per party channel, up to 16 per server. Activation is paid from your credit balance.
6. Sync users. Import your Discord members and give officers their dashboard roles: Admin, Moderator or Member.
7. On raid night: assign bots and mark the caller. Click Auto assign and every managed party channel gets a bot. Then mark your Main Caller in the dashboard, or straight from the in-game overlay. Party leads can be marked as Info Callers so the caller hears their reports.
8. Talk. The caller speaks in their own channel and every party channel hears the call in real time.

What players need to do

Nothing. Players join their normal party voice channels on Discord, keep their party comms and simply hear the caller on top. No downloads, no second app, no accounts.

Frequently asked questions

What permissions do the dcshot bots need?

The main bot needs View Channels, Connect and Move Members. The voice bots need View Channels, Connect, Speak and Use Voice Activity. No message reading, no kick or ban, no administrator.

Do players have to install anything?

No. Only the person setting it up uses the web dashboard. Everyone else just joins their party channel.

Is there a free way to try it?

Yes. Every new Discord server starts with 500 free credits, no card required, which is enough to run real raids before deciding.
