# 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?

Select the voice channel you want to exclude from the "Choose a voice channel…" dropdown menu (e.g., `AFK` or `Private`), then click the **+ Add channel** button. Don't forget to save your settings.
