# Channel Filter

## Channels Blacklist

If you do not want the time spent in specific voice channels (e.g., AFK channels or private staff rooms) on your server to be tracked, you can filter these channels out.

### How to add?

No need to search for channel IDs anymore! Simply click on the "Select a voice channel..." dropdown menu and choose the voice channel you want to exclude (e.g., `AFK` or `Private`) directly from the list.
