Host a music or voice bot

FFmpeg and Opus are added for you.

  1. Add your voice packages: discord.py[voice] and yt-dlp in requirements.txt for Python, or @discordjs/voice in package.json for Node.js.
  2. Press Deploy. When we see voice packages, FFmpeg is installed into your bot's build automatically (and Opus for Python).
  3. Music bots use more memory while streaming: Pro (512 MB) suits small servers, Ultra (1 GB) bigger ones.
Respect the terms of the services you stream from.

Still stuck? Log in and ask support, or check the service status. New here? See bot hosting plans from $0.70 a month.
