# Stopping long running messages From time to time you may have a long running series of messages that you'd like to stop. This can be done by performing the **!stop** command which stop the currently speaking voice. If you'd like to cease all other speaking as well including any queued audio perform **!stop all** To perform this command you will need to be have control of the Talkbot (be it's master), be permitted, be a server admin or have server management permissions. Example to stop current message: ``` !stop ``` Stop all messages in queue: ``` !stop all ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
