Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Join our support server.

This message appears when EchoGuard is not currently connected to any voice channel in your server. Use /play while in a voice channel to start a new session. The bot will join automatically.
EchoGuard has an automatic idle timeout of 3 minutes. It will disconnect when: the queue is empty and no new track is added, or everyone leaves the voice channel. This prevents the bot from sitting idle and wasting resources.
Only you. The /stats command always responds ephemerally — the message is invisible to everyone else in the channel. Your data is stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and your Discord user ID is hashed (HMAC-SHA256), making it non-reversible even for server administrators. Use /resetstats at any time to permanently erase all your data.
EchoGuard only records a listen once you've reached at least 85% of a track's total duration (or 90% if the track finished naturally). Tracks under 45 seconds are never counted. This prevents quick skips from inflating your statistics.
EchoGuard supports one active player per server (guild). You cannot stream different music to two voice channels simultaneously within the same server. Each server maintains its own independent player session.
By default, EchoGuard searches via YouTube Music. Direct YouTube (including playlists) is fully supported.
Yes — since v2.8, EchoGuard automatically pauses playback when the last human leaves the voice channel, and resumes as soon as someone rejoins. If no one comes back within 3 minutes, it disconnects and clears the session.
Use /save while a track is playing — EchoGuard sends a rich embed to your Discord DMs with the title, artist, duration, and a direct link. Your saves are stored encrypted in the database and capped at 50 entries per user. Once the limit is reached, the oldest entry is removed to make room for the new one. View your full list at any time with /mysaves.
No — EchoGuard automatically filters out tracks that are already present in the queue when you load a playlist. It also tells you how many duplicates were skipped so nothing is a surprise.

Terms of Service

Please read these terms before using EchoGuard on your server.

EchoGuard — Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026 · Applies to all servers using EchoGuard

02 Description of Service

EchoGuard is a Discord music bot that streams audio content from third-party sources using the Lavalink audio framework. It also provides optional personal listening statistics. The service is provided free of charge and as-is, without any guarantees of availability or performance.

03 Permitted Use

You may use EchoGuard for personal and community entertainment purposes within Discord servers you own or administer. You agree to use the bot in compliance with:

  • Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines
  • YouTube's Terms of Service regarding content streaming
  • All applicable laws and regulations, including French law, which governs this service

04 Prohibited Use

You may not use EchoGuard to:

  • Stream, share, or redistribute copyrighted content in violation of applicable law
  • Attempt to exploit, overload, or disrupt the bot or its infrastructure
  • Automate interactions with the bot beyond normal slash command usage
  • Use the bot for commercial purposes or monetized streams without prior consent
  • Facilitate harassment, hate speech, or any illegal activity

05 Intellectual Property & Content

EchoGuard does not store, host, or own any audio content. All music is streamed in real time from third-party platforms. Responsibility for respecting copyright law lies solely with the users and server administrators requesting playback. EchoGuard and its name, design, and features are the exclusive property of its developers. All rights reserved.

06 Data & Privacy

EchoGuard processes the following data during its operation:

  • Discord Guild IDs and Channel IDs — used for routing audio and responses, not retained after session end
  • User IDs — hashed with HMAC-SHA256 (non-reversible) for stats lookup only
  • Track and artist names — encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage, decrypted only at display time
  • Listening duration — stored in aggregate (minutes), never raw timestamps
  • Search queries — forwarded to the Lavalink server; subject to their own privacy policies

Listening statistics are stored only if you use the bot and reach the minimum listen threshold (≥ 85% of track duration, or ≥ 90% if the track finished naturally; tracks under 45 seconds are excluded). You may permanently delete all your data at any time using /resetstats. We do not sell or share any data with third parties.

07 Service Availability

EchoGuard is provided on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee uptime, audio quality, or access to any specific content source. The service may be interrupted for maintenance, updates, or due to external factors beyond our control (such as third-party API availability). We reserve the right to discontinue the public bot instance at any time.

08 Limitation of Liability

EchoGuard and its developers shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use the service. This includes, but is not limited to, disruption of Discord activities, loss of data, or any issues arising from third-party platform changes.

09 Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms of Service at any time. Continued use of EchoGuard after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. We will indicate the date of the last update at the top of this document. For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users via our support server or bot announcements.

10 Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by French law, except where mandatory local consumer protection laws provide otherwise. If a dispute arises from the use of EchoGuard, users are encouraged to contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

If no amicable resolution is found, the dispute may be brought before the competent courts under applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory rights granted to users under consumer protection regulations.
