plasmoin the plugin search field. - Click the 4 Install button next to the
Plasmo Voice Server.
Restart the Server

plugins/PlasmoVoice/config.yml.
Create the port allocation
- 1 Navigate to the ports section by clicking the Network tab.
- 2 Click the Create Allocation button.
- 3 Click the Voting/VoiceChat port checkbox. This is to ensure you’re given the unfiltered port, as the anti-DDoS can prevent connections.
- 4 Click the Create button.
- Congratulations, you have now created a new port allocation. Make sure to note down the new port number, and please note that the new port isn’t usable until you restart your server. We’re going to do this in the next step, though, so keep that in mind.

plugins/PlasmoVoice/directory and find theconfig.ymlfile. - This file contains the configuration settings for the Plasmo Voice plugin.

config.tomlfile to open the editor. - 1 Look for the
portsetting in theconfig.ymlfile and edit it to use the port you allocated earlier. - When you’ve done that, it should look something like this:

ip = "0.0.0.0"
port = 12003 # Edit this value to the port newly allocated- Click the 2 Save Content button to save the changes.
- Once the file has been saved, you need to restart the server. This ensures the new port is accessible to the plugin and the configuration is updated. You can verify if the change worked by what the console says. Once the server is started up, you can join it to see if it works.
