I need some help

[LunayderKater]

I am building a bot duh and it should connect to a specific vc when using /join-vc

my code

    Private Async Function HandleSlashCommand(command As SocketSlashCommand) As Task
        Dim cmdname As String = command.Data.Name
        If cmdname = "join-vc" Then
            ConnectToVoiceChannelAsync()
            command.RespondAsync("okay")
        End If
    End Function

    Private Async Function ConnectToVoiceChannelAsync() As Task
        Try
            Dim serverId As ULong = myserverid' Server-ID
            Dim voiceChannelId As ULong = myvoicechannelid ' Voice-Kanal-ID

            Dim server As SocketGuild = _client.GetGuild(serverId)
            Dim voiceChannel As SocketVoiceChannel = server.GetVoiceChannel(voiceChannelId)

            If voiceChannel IsNot Nothing Then
                voiceClient = Await voiceChannel.ConnectAsync()

                ' Die Verbindung wurde erfolgreich hergestellt
                Console.WriteLine($"Erfolgreich mit Voice-Kanal {voiceChannel.Name} verbunden.")

                While True
                    Await Task.Delay(5000)
                End While
            Else
                Console.WriteLine("Der angegebene Voice-Kanal wurde nicht gefunden.")
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine($"Fehler beim Verbinden zum Voice-Kanal: {ex.Message}")
        End Try
    End Function

the code kinda works, the bot connects but then leaves the channel within 10 seconds telling me there is a timeout.
i also never recive the message "Erfolgreich mit Voice-Kanal {voiceChannel.Name} verbunden."

can someone help me bringing my bot into my voicchannel so i can preper it to send audio e.t.c

use arguments to the channel.ConnectAsync(true,false,true) method; by default they are as follows: [bool selfDeaf = false], [bool selfMute = false], [bool external = false]) and to prevent the bot itself from leaving the voice chat it is necessary to change external = true.
