Creator channels and rooms
A creator channel is not somewhere you talk. It is a button: join it and AVC immediately moves you into a brand new voice channel made just for that visit, a room. Nobody sets these up by hand, and nobody has to remember to clean them up either.
A server can have as many creator channels as it wants, made with /create. Each one keeps its own name template, its own permissions, its own default user limit, and its own privacy setting, so a "Gaming" category and a "Study" category can behave completely differently while sharing the same bot. See the command reference for the admin commands that shape a creator channel, and name templates for what a room can be named.
A new room starts out matching its creator channel: the same bitrate, region, video quality, NSFW flag, and default user limit. Permissions come along too, by default from the creator channel itself, though /inheritpermissions can point that at the category or a specific channel instead.
Who owns a room
Whoever joins a creator channel becomes their room's owner and its original creator. Being the owner is what unlocks most room-only commands: /private, /name, /limit, and the rest. /kick is the exception: anyone in the room can start that vote, not just the owner.
If the owner leaves and the room is not empty, ownership moves on its own to whoever has been in the room the longest. Nobody has to run a command for that to happen. But that new owner is only a caretaker: AVC still remembers who created the room, so if the original creator comes back, /reclaim hands it straight back to them, even from a caretaker who is still there.
/transfer is different: it is a deliberate handover, not a departure, and the person it is given to becomes the room's new original creator. That is what makes it a real handover rather than a loan. The previous owner cannot /reclaim it back afterward.
Keeping the room list tidy
A room exists for as long as someone is using it and no longer. Once the last person leaves, AVC deletes it, so a quiet server's channel list stays exactly as long as it needs to be. You can delete a room yourself instead, and nothing about that confuses the bot: it just notices the room is gone.
Names that stay current
A room's name is recalculated as people join, leave, and change what they are playing, following whatever template its creator channel uses. Discord limits how often any one channel can be renamed, so a name built from fast-moving details can lag behind during a busy session. The name templates page covers the voice status, which updates far more often, as the fix.
One category, fifty rooms
Discord caps every category at 50 channels total, voice and text combined. That is a Discord limit, not an AVC one, and it applies no matter how many bots or people are involved. If a creator channel could plausibly need more concurrent rooms than that, add a second creator channel in a different category to spread the load. There is no limit on how many creator channels a server can have.
