In order to play music for you, you’ll need to invite Groot into the voice channel your call is in. To do this, simply go to the channels chat and type in the command
/join. If you want Groot to be in the channel 24/7, you can use the command /247.
You can verify this worked if you see Groot in your channel
Alternatively, when you’re done with Groot you can use the command
/leave to kick the bot out.
Step 2: Add Music
Groot has two methods for playing music: immediate play and a queue.
Immediate Play
To immediately play a song, simply use the command
/play [song].
It will let you enter a song or artist, then do a search and show you the results.
Select the correct song, hit your “Enter” key to send the command, and your song should begin playing.
To pause the song, use the command
/pause
Queue
Alternatively, you + other meeting attendees can also create a music queue.
To add a song to the queue, use the
/play command again while a song is playing and it will be added to the list.
You can view the current queue with the
/queue command
You can clear the queue with
/clear
