How to Set Quiet Hours for Discord Stream Notifications
To set quiet hours for your Discord stream notifications, open the Streamlinx dashboard, go to your server settings, and configure a quiet hours window. Quiet hours is a Premium feature that lets you mute notifications during specific hours — either skipping them entirely or queuing them for a summary.
What Are Quiet Hours?
Quiet hours let you define a time window when stream notifications are silenced. This is ideal for international communities where members are in different timezones, or for servers that don't want notifications during overnight hours.
You choose what happens to notifications during quiet hours:
- Skip mode — Notifications are silently suppressed. Nothing is posted during quiet hours.
- Summary mode — Notifications are queued during quiet hours, then posted as a digest when quiet hours end.
Step 1: Add Streamlinx to Your Discord Server
Visit the invite page and add the bot to your Discord server.
Step 2: Open the Dashboard
Go to the Streamlinx dashboard, log in with Discord, and select your server.
Step 3: Configure Quiet Hours
- Go to Server Settings in the dashboard
- Enable Quiet Hours
- Set a start time and end time for the quiet window
- Select your timezone (IANA timezones supported, DST-aware)
- Choose the mode: Skip or Summary
- If using Summary mode, optionally set a role mention to ping a role when the summary posts
Done
During quiet hours, stream notifications will either be skipped or queued depending on your chosen mode. Summary mode posts a catch-up digest when quiet hours end.
Skip Mode vs Summary Mode
| Feature | Skip Mode | Summary Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications during quiet hours | Suppressed entirely | Queued |
| After quiet hours end | Nothing happens | Summary digest posted |
| Role mention | N/A | Optional — ping a role when summary posts |
| Best for | Servers that don't want any overnight noise | Servers that want to catch up on missed streams |
Timezone Support
Quiet hours are fully timezone-aware. Select your timezone from the dropdown in the dashboard — Streamlinx supports all standard IANA timezone strings and automatically handles daylight saving time transitions.
Summary with Role Mention
In Summary mode, you can optionally set a role mention so that a specific Discord role is pinged when the summary posts. This is useful for notifying moderators or active community members that there are streams to catch up on.
Use the /summary slash command to manually view a quiet hours summary at any time.
Bypass Quiet Hours (Premium)
Individual streamers can bypass quiet hours entirely. Enable Ignore Quiet Hours on a specific streamer in the dashboard, and their notifications will always be delivered regardless of the quiet hours window. This is useful for priority streamers whose broadcasts should never be silenced.
Quiet hours require a Premium subscription.
Tips
International Communities
If your server spans multiple timezones, set quiet hours based on when the majority of your active members sleep. Summary mode ensures nobody misses important streams — they just see them after quiet hours end.
Combine with Filter Rules
Use quiet hours alongside filter rules for fine-grained control. For example, filter rules decide which streams trigger notifications, and quiet hours decide when they're delivered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see what happened during quiet hours?
Yes. In Summary mode, a digest is posted when quiet hours end. You can also use the /summary slash command at any time to see queued notifications.
Does quiet hours affect all streamers?
By default, yes. All tracked streamers in the server are affected by quiet hours. Premium users can exempt individual streamers by enabling Ignore Quiet Hours on a per-streamer basis.
What timezone should I use?
Use the timezone that matches the majority of your server's active members. Streamlinx handles DST transitions automatically.
Can I have different quiet hours for different channels?
No. Quiet hours apply at the server level, affecting all notification channels.
