# kick

Disconnect users from your temporary channel and revoke their access, or start a vote and let the owner and trusted users of your channel decide.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can only kick users while your temporary channel is locked or hidden with [/voice privacy](/commands/voice/privacy.md), or has a user limit set with [/voice limit](/commands/voice/limit.md). In a public channel without a limit, a kicked user could join again right away.
{% endhint %}

When both kick modes are available to you, TempVoice first asks whether you want an **Instant Kick** or a **Vote Kick**.

## Instant Kick <a href="#instant" id="instant"></a>

Only the owner of the temporary channel can kick instantly. Select up to **3 users** at once:

* Users connected to your channel are disconnected.
* Their permissions on your channel are removed, which also takes them off your trusted list.
* You can also select a user you [invited](/commands/voice/user/invite.md) who hasn't joined yet to take back the invite.

Kicked users can join again if your channel is public and they aren't [blocked](/commands/voice/user/block.md).

## Vote Kick <a href="#vote" id="vote"></a>

The owner and [trusted users](/commands/voice/user/trust.md) of the temporary channel can start a vote to kick one user, so the owner doesn't have to be around.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Start the vote

Select the user. TempVoice posts a vote message in the in-voice chat of the channel. Starting a vote counts as a **yes** vote.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Cast your vote

The owner and trusted users who are connected to the channel can vote **yes** or **no** with the buttons and can change their vote while it runs. The user being voted on can't vote.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### The vote ends

The user is kicked as soon as enough voters voted **yes**, which also takes them off the trusted list. The vote fails once too many voters voted **no** for it to pass, and it ends after **2 minutes** if not enough voters voted in time.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The number of votes needed is the [Vote Kick Percentage](/settings/creator/moderation/vote-kick-percentage.md) of the voters, rounded up. Only the owner and trusted users who are connected to the channel are counted. The user being voted on and bots are not counted.

> **Example:** The owner and 5 trusted users are in the channel and a trusted user is voted on. That leaves 5 voters. With a percentage of 50%, **3** yes votes are needed.

Only one vote kick can run in a channel at a time. The owner of the channel and moderators can't be vote kicked, and a vote is canceled if the user being voted on becomes the owner, for example with [/voice claim](/commands/voice/claim.md).

If your vote kick fails or runs out of time, you have to wait **2 minutes** before you can start a new one in a temporary channel of the same Creator Channel.

## Who can't be kicked? <a href="#immune" id="immune"></a>

Members with the **Ban Members**, **Kick Members** or **Timeout Members** permission are moderators and can't be kicked. If the server grants channel owners **Disconnect Members** with [Temporary Channel Owner Permissions](/settings/creator/permissions/owner.md), the owner can instantly kick moderators too. Moderators are always protected from vote kicks.

See [Why some users get ignored/skipped?](/faq/skipped.md) for every reason a user can be skipped.

Server admins can turn off or restrict both modes to certain roles with [Toggle Features](/settings/creator/moderation/features.md): **Kicking/Disconnecting User** and **Starting Vote Kicks**.
