#### **Try Your First Command!**

You have successfully added VoiceStats to your server, great! To test that everything is working smoothly and to see your own data, spend at least 30 seconds in a voice channel, and then type `/my stats` in any text channel. If you want to explore all the other features the bot offers, the `/help` command will guide you.

Now VoiceStats has been added to your server. You can enjoy using VoiceStats on your server with the :keycap[/] prefix..
