# Voice calls

## 1. Calls in Discord voice channels

You can call your characters within a Discord voice channel, with multiple people. In this case the character joins the voice channel after using the <mark style="color:blue;">/call</mark> command.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When you create characters with AICord, they are **webhooks** by default. Unfortunately, on Discord, webhooks are **NOT** able to participate in voice channels. To make them able to join voice channels, you'll need to enable [Bot mode](/ai-characters/bot-mode.md) first on the dashboard when editing to make them a Discord bot!
{% endhint %}

Once you have bot-mode enabled for your character and your bot is Online in your server, then you are able to use its slash commands:

* <mark style="color:blue;">/call</mark> to join a voice channel
* <mark style="color:blue;">/endcall</mark> to end a voice channel call and leave the voice channel

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Possible issues:** Please make sure that your character has a voice set, and also that experimental real-time mode with <mark style="color:blue;">/togglert</mark> is not enabled.

If response is too slow, consider uploading a custom .wav file for voice sample. It uses a different model which is also faster.
{% endhint %}

## 2. Calls on the dashboard

You can also call your characters on AICord's website by opening your [chats](https://aicordapp.com/chat) and clicking the <i class="fa-phone">:phone:</i> button. If you have no characters on chat interface, then view the characters page of the dashboard and click the <i class="fa-message">:message:</i> button to DM any of your characters.

{% hint style="info" %}
The calls are currently only reliable within DM (1 user to 1 character) channels.
{% endhint %}
