- Discord Activity: start Betty from the Activity launcher (rocket icon) in a voice channel; the full player runs inside Discord and everyone in the channel sees the same queue, cover art and lyrics. There is no slash command for it.
- Song request channel: a dedicated text channel where anyone can post a song name or link to queue it.
- Dashboard at https://betty.bot/dash for server settings.

## Bot forwarding
Servers can add several Betty bots (for example Betty and Betty Chan, or custom bots). A command sent to any Betty bot is forwarded to the bot that currently holds the player in your voice channel. Users never need to remember which bot is playing.

- Playlists, albums and artists are inserted as one group in the queue, show where they came from and can be removed in one go.
- Autoplay: keeps playing similar songs when the queue ends.
- Loop song or queue, shuffle and unshuffle, seek, rewind, replay, previous songs, move and remove queue entries.
- 10-band equalizer with presets (`/eq`) and audio filters: bass boost, nightcore, vaporwave, karaoke, low pass, rotation, tremolo, vibrato.
- Volume control with a server-wide maximum and default volume.
- Last.fm scrobbling through .fmbot for listeners who use it.
- Listening history, recommendations based on your history, music taste rating (`/value my`).

## Server management
- DJ mode with DJ role and DJ users; vote to skip and vote to stop.
- Song announcements, search when no link is given, default and maximum volume.
