# Getting Started ## Let's get started! For karaoke to work, it requires you create a role you can assign to users you trust to run karaoke on your server. This role is referred to as the *master role*. ### Inviting Eventcord to your server To invite Eventcord to your server, go to [eventcord.xyz/invite](https://eventcord.xyz/invite). Confused on any permissions Eventcord is asking for? Check out [permissions](/faq.md#why-does-kariari-require-the-permissions-listed) on the [FAQ](/faq.md). For the bot to work optimally and to future proof your server, please provide it with all of those permissions. ## Before we get started If you intend on using karaoke, please ensure to following to avoid members being left with server mutes outside of events: ### Checking Permissions Make sure Eventcord has the **Mute Members** permission in all voice channels. This may not be the case if you have fancy role hierarchies. Use **/setup** or visit the dashboard to have the bot list out the channels it does not have the **Mute Members** permission. ## Assisted Setup Eventcord features a setup wizard via command. Use **/setup.** ## **Manual Setup** If you would prefer to manually set up the bot, check out [this page](/using-the-bot/configuration.md) on our documentation. Manual setup will still automatically check if you have configured the bot correctly. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
