@discordjs/voice

About

@discordjs/voice is a TypeScript implementation of the Discord Voice API for Node.js.

Features:

• Send and receive* audio in Discord voice-based channels
• A strong focus on reliability and predictable behavior
• Horizontal scalability and libraries other than discord.js are supported with custom adapters
• A robust audio processing system that can handle a wide range of audio sources

*Audio receive is not documented by Discord so stable support is not guaranteed
