Get voice channel id from user id discord.py

My question is how can i get the voice channel id a user is in without that person typing in any chats, if i know the persons user ID.

Example Code:

USER_ID = 1234578654

@bot.command()
async def join():
    account = bot.get_user(USER_ID)
    channel = account.voice.channel
    voice = await channel.connect()

In steps

  1. Figure out which channel a user is in with there id
  2. join that channel

You can try and get the channel by the member argument. You can now either use the name or ID of the user.

Take a look at the following example:

@bot.command()
async def join(ctx, member : discord.Member):
    try:
        channel = member.voice.channel
        if channel: # If user is in a channel
            await channel.connect() # Connect
            await ctx.send("User is connected to a channel, joining...")
        else:
            await ctx.send("I am already connected to a channel.") # If the bot is already connected
    except AttributeError:
        return await ctx.send("User is not in a channel, can't connect.") # Error message

What did we do?

  • Get the voice channel of discord.Member.
  • Connect to the channel if the member is in a voice channel.
  • Give out an error if the member is not connected to a channel.

To define a user you can use the following function:

from discord.utils import get

@bot.command()
async def join(ctx):
    try:
        member = ctx.guild.get_member(YourID) # Get the member by ID
        if member:  # If it is the defined member
            await member.voice.channel.connect()  # Connect
            return await ctx.send("User is connected to a channel, joining...")
        else:
            await ctx.send("Not the defined user.")
    except AttributeError:
        return await ctx.send("The defined user is not in a channel.")  # Error message
