DISCORD
RADIO BOT

Yes, Betty can play live radio in Discord. Pick a station with /radio and Betty streams it into your voice channel until you stop it.

How to play radio in Discord

  1. 1

    Add Betty to your server

    Invite Betty from the invite page if it isn't on your server yet.

  2. 2

    Allow radio mode

    A server admin turns on Allow radio mode in the dashboard under the server's player settings. Until then, /radio tells you that radio mode is disabled.

  3. 3

    Join a voice channel and type /radio

    Start typing in the stream option and choose a station from the list. Betty switches into radio mode and starts streaming.

  4. 4

    Stop the radio

    Use the stop button under the radio message. Betty leaves radio mode and switches back to the normal queue.

Radio mode vs. queue mode

Radio mode plays one live stream instead of a queue. Starting the radio stops the current playback, and queue features like skipping or adding songs are paused while the radio is on.

Stop the radio to get back to the normal queue with /play, playlists and everything else.

Radio or 24/7 mode?

They solve different problems. Radio mode chooses what plays: a live station. 24/7 mode decides whether Betty stays in the voice channel when it's empty. Combine both for an always-on radio channel.

FAQ

Is there a Discord bot that plays radio?

Yes. Betty has a dedicated /radio command that streams live internet radio stations into your voice channel.

Is the radio mode free?

Yes. Radio mode isn't a Premium feature – a server admin only has to allow it in the dashboard.

Why does Betty say radio mode is disabled?

Radio mode is off by default. Ask a server admin to enable Allow radio mode in the dashboard.

Can I skip songs or add songs during the radio?

No. Those features are paused in radio mode. Stop the radio first, then use /play as usual.

Start your Discord radio

Add Betty, allow radio mode and type /radio.
