# Play Audio

**Introduction**

The "Play Audio" step allows you to play an audio file or stream in a specified voice channel. This step is useful for automations that involve playing music, sound effects, or other audio content within a Discord server.

**Configuration**

* **Channel**: Specifies the voice channel where the audio will be played. This parameter is required.
* **Source**: The source of the audio, which can be provided in one of two ways:
  * **URL**: A URL pointing to the audio file. This parameter is required if no file is provided.
  * **File**: An audio file uploaded directly. This parameter is required if no URL is provided.
* **Duration**: (Optional) Limits the playtime of the audio. If not specified, the audio will play in full.
* **Volume**: The volume level for playback, ranging from 0 to 1000, with a default value of 50.

This step allows for flexibility in audio playback, with options for both volume control and playtime limits.
