# 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 [Discord Bot](/ai-characters/integrations/discord-bot.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 %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aicordapp.com/premium/voice-calls.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
