Shouldn't you add an AFK voice channel for those who are AFK in call?

What’s the point of going to a designated vc just to go afk

to signal if someone is not on the computer for over 5 mins or smth

you don't go to one, that's not how it works, it's designed by discord, the afk channel will drag anyone who's inactive in any of the vcs, and you get to decide the time from the server settings, serving in reducing the clutter in some of the vcs, and notifying afk users that they're still in a vc, another property of this is that discord also makes this vc deafen and mute everyone in it, this helps if someone left their mic open and their dog starts barking or we can start hearing someone in their background, instead of muting them, they get automatically moved in 5m (or the time set by the mods)

oh yeah i remember those

#

why does it matter though

#

who cares if you're afk

#

It's better, it takes 2 clicks to add, and doesn't hurt anyone

#

so why not?

#

me ace ali and 4 other people join the art vc occasionally and stay there for hours, most of the time other people end joining and sometimes the voice chat ends up having 9+ people

#

and also jixo and some other guys join the gaming vc from time to time

#

I'd vcs are used very often

#

it doesn't really sound like a bad idea i guess

#

i wouldn't be directly opposed, but it's kinda useless

#

also would it still prompt you if you're in a different tab? genuine question

it only moves you when you're deaf for the time chosen by mods, and not streaming or typing or moving your mouse on discord, or have a really consistent static for that time and discord will tell if you're afk, or if you're not speaking at all or doing anything

midnight obsidian
#

this for example

no it won't move you obv, it can tell that you're afk
