# Get Started with Eleven in 3 Easy Steps

> Invite Eleven to your server, join a voice channel, and start playing music in under two minutes.

Setting up Eleven takes less than two minutes. No configuration files, no complex setup — just invite, join a voice channel, and start playing. Follow the steps below to get from zero to music.

## Setup Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Invite Eleven to Your Server">
    Use the invite link to authorize Eleven with the required permissions:

    During authorization you'll:

    1. **Select a server** where you have Manage Server permission
    2. **Review permissions** — Connect, Speak, Send Messages, View Channels, Embed Links, and Read Message History are all required
    3. **Click Authorize** — Eleven will join your server and register its slash commands within seconds

    <Note>
      You must have **Manage Server** permission to invite bots. If you don't see your server in the dropdown, ask a server administrator to complete the invite.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Join a Voice Channel">
    Before using any music command, join the voice channel where you want Eleven to play audio. The bot always joins the voice channel of the user who triggered the command.

    1. Click any voice channel in your server sidebar
    2. Confirm you appear in the member list under that channel
    3. Eleven will join this channel when you run `/play`

    <Tip>
      Eleven automatically follows you between channels. Switch to a different voice channel and run `/play` again to move the bot.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Play Your First Song">
    In any text channel, use the `/play` command with a song name:

    ```text theme={null}
    /play farebi
    ```

    Eleven will:

    * Search  for the best match
    * Join your voice channel
    * Begin streaming immediately
    * Post a now-playing message with interactive buttons

    The now-playing message includes:

    * **Play/Pause button** — Toggle playback
    * **Skip button** — Skip to next track (requires vote/premium)
    * **Stop button** — Stop playback and clear queue
    * **More button** — Open settings modal for volume, loop, autoplay, and more
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore Interactive Controls">
    Click the **More** button on the now-playing message to access the settings modal:

    * **Volume** — Set from 0 to 150 (requires Fairplay mod if active)
    * **Loop Mode** — None, Track, or Queue (disabled in Fairplay)
    * **Fairplay Mode** — Toggle democratic queue rotation (mod only)
    * **Autoplay** — Auto-queue similar tracks (mod only)
    * **Favourite** — Add current track to your library
    * **Add to Playlist** — Choose from your saved playlists

    All modal interactions require an active vote or premium subscription.
  </Step>
</Steps>
