# Songbird
![](songbird.png)
Songbird is an async, cross-library compatible voice system for Discord, written in Rust.
The library offers:
* A standalone gateway frontend compatible with [serenity] and [twilight] using the
`"gateway"` and `"[serenity/twilight]-[rustls/native]"` features. You can even run
driverless, to help manage your [lavalink] sessions.
* A standalone driver for voice calls, via the `"driver"` feature. If you can create
a `ConnectionInfo` using any other gateway, or language for your bot, then you
can run the songbird voice driver.
* And, by default, a fully featured voice system featuring events, queues, RT(C)P packet
handling, seeking on compatible streams, shared multithreaded audio stream caches,
and direct Opus data passthrough from DCA files.
## Intents
Songbird's gateway functionality requires you to specify the `GUILD_VOICE_STATES` intent.
## Examples
Full examples showing various types of functionality and integrations can be found in [this crate's examples directory].
