Hey there! I’ve been looking around for a Discord bot that can automatically mute players when they get eliminated in Among Us games. I’ve spent quite a bit of time searching but most of the bots I found seem to be outdated or no longer working. I came across one called AmongUsMute but it needs someone to install software on their computer, which won’t work for us since several people in our group play on their phones. Has anyone found a bot that actually works without requiring desktop apps? Would really appreciate any suggestions from people who have dealt with this before. Thanks for taking the time to help out!
Same frustration here with broken Among Us bots. We switched to Carl-bot with custom voice commands - not made for Among Us specifically, but you can set up role-based muting that works on any device. Takes maybe 15 minutes to set up. Make roles for alive/dead players, then the bot auto-mutes anyone tagged as dead. You still gotta assign roles when people die, but it’s way faster than muting everyone individually. Carl-bot actually gets updated regularly so it won’t just die on you like those abandoned Among Us bots. We’ve used this setup for 6+ months with zero problems.
Had the same problem last year trying to get auto-muting working on our Discord server. Most Among Us bots are dead now since the game’s popularity dropped, and the ones that still work break whenever Discord updates their API. We gave up on automation and just switched to push-to-talk. Turn down the input sensitivity and set a keybind - when you’re dead, just don’t press the button. Takes a bit to get used to, but it’s way more reliable than dealing with buggy third-party bots that might stop working.
We had this same issue earlier this year. Tried a bunch of dead bots that didn’t work, then found MEE6 actually handles this pretty well with custom voice channel permissions. Just set up two voice channels - one for living players, one for dead. Use MEE6’s autorole feature to move people between channels when they get eliminated. Keep the dead channel permanently muted, let the alive channel talk normally. Someone has to manually move users when they die, but it’s way faster than muting everyone individually. Plus MEE6’s actually maintained, so it won’t break on you. We’ve been running this setup for 4 months with zero problems.
The Problem: You’re struggling to find a Discord bot that automatically mutes Among Us players when they’re eliminated, especially since many players in your group use mobile devices and thus can’t install desktop applications. Existing Among Us bots are often outdated or unreliable.
Understanding the “Why” (The Root Cause):
Many Among Us-specific Discord bots have fallen out of maintenance due to the game’s decreased popularity. This leaves users with unreliable or broken solutions. The need to install desktop software for some bots further limits their usability for mobile players. The core issue isn’t just finding a working bot, but finding one compatible with all players’ devices and platforms.
Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Implement a Custom Discord API Workflow: The most reliable solution bypasses reliance on potentially unreliable third-party bots entirely. This involves creating a custom workflow that interacts directly with the Discord API and the Among Us game state. This allows you to build a solution tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring compatibility across devices. This workflow would monitor the Among Us game for elimination events and automatically mute corresponding Discord users.
This requires programming skills and familiarity with Discord’s API and webhooks. The provided link (https://latenode.com) offers a potential starting point, but creating your own solution allows greater control and ensures long-term functionality as the Discord API changes.
-
(Alternative) Utilize a General-Purpose Discord Bot: If developing a custom solution isn’t feasible, consider using a well-maintained, general-purpose bot like Carl-bot or MEE6. While not designed specifically for Among Us, these bots offer role-based muting and voice channel management features.
- With Carl-bot: Create Discord roles for “Alive” and “Dead” players. Configure the bot to mute users assigned the “Dead” role. Manually assign roles as players are eliminated.
- With MEE6: Set up two voice channels: one for “Alive” and one for “Dead,” with the “Dead” channel muted. Use MEE6’s autorole feature to move users between channels when they die.
-
(Alternative) Manual Mute Coordination: As a temporary or backup solution, designate a “Mute Coordinator” who manually mutes eliminated players using Discord’s built-in features. This is less efficient, but guarantees functionality without any bot reliance.
Common Pitfalls & What to Check Next:
- API Rate Limits: When using a custom API workflow, be mindful of Discord’s API rate limits to avoid issues.
- Error Handling: Implement robust error handling in your custom solution to gracefully manage unexpected events or API failures.
- Bot Permissions: Ensure your chosen bot (if using one) has the necessary permissions to manage voice states and roles.

Honestly, most Among Us bots died when the hype ended. We tested 5 different ones last month - they all had issues or stopped working completely. Maybe try general voice channel bots with mute commands instead? Not perfect, but at least they get regular updates unlike the Among Us-specific ones.
It seems like the lack of reliable bots is a common issue for many players. I’ve faced similar struggles with my group, as most of the bots have either glitches or are no longer maintained. One approach we’ve taken is designating a ‘mute coordinator’ during our games. This person manually mutes eliminated players using Discord’s built-in features. While it may add a little time between rounds, it allows for a smoother experience overall. It’s not automated, but it certainly helps maintain game flow without the frustration of dysfunctional bots.
