> Keep both guilds in their own servers. Link them, agree which server's caller runs the fight, and start a cross-server relay from either side so one caller reaches every party in both. Party leaders on both sides can still talk back.

## Don't merge the servers

The usual fix for an alliance fight is to ask one guild to join the other's server for the night. Half of them can't find the channels, roles are wrong, and the permissions you set up so carefully don't apply. Keep each guild where it is.

## Link the two servers

On the Alliance plan, one server creates a single-use invite code and the other pastes it in. The second server gets Guild Master — 12 speaker channels — at no extra cost. [Alliances](https://www.nocapbots.com/docs/voice-relay/alliances.md) has the step-by-step.

## Decide who calls

Before the fight, agree which server's caller runs it. The cross-server relay takes the caller from the server that starts it and plays them into the speaker channels of both. Whoever starts it, starts the call.

1. **Both servers set up.** Each server needs its own speaker channels and roles, like any normal setup.
2. **Start cross-server.** The calling server types `/start-cross-server`. Either server can start one; `/stop-cross-server` ends it.
3. **Check both sides.** Ask one party on each server to confirm they hear the caller.

> **Note: Teams don't apply across servers.** A cross-server relay sends the caller to everyone and ignores voice teams; your teams stay saved for normal relays. Plan split calls within one server.

## Talking back across the alliance

Party leaders on both servers can use their priority key to reach the caller, exactly as they would at home. The same etiquette applies — see [party leaders: set up your priority key](https://www.nocapbots.com/blog/party-leader-priority-key.md).

## Put it into practice

- [Alliances: relay across two Discord servers](https://www.nocapbots.com/docs/voice-relay/alliances.md): Link two Discord servers with a single-use invite code so one caller reaches the speaker channels of both. The allied server gets Guild Master free.
- [Plans, billing and transfers](https://www.nocapbots.com/docs/billing.md): NoCap Bots plans and billing: free trial, upgrading, cancelling, payment details, moving a subscription to a new server and server transfer requests.
- [Voice Relay slash commands](https://www.nocapbots.com/docs/voice-relay/commands.md): Every Callout slash command: /start, /stop, /status, /ping, /start-cross-server and /stop-cross-server, and who can use them.
