# Channel Filter

The channel filter setting determines whether time spent in specific voice channels is recorded. Voice activity in filtered channels is not recorded by the bot.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Voice stats of filtered channels are not reset automatically. If there are existing stats for that channel, they will still appear in the rankings. You can completely reset the voice stats of that channel using the `/reset channel stats` command.
{% endhint %}

### How to Use?

When you select the **Channel Filter** category from the `/settings` menu, you can see the list of currently filtered channels and your total filtered channels limit. Use the **+ Add Channel** button to add a new channel to the filter, and the **- Remove Channel** button to remove an existing one.

{% endhint %}
