Details

Note: This function cannot place you in the channels under the 'World' category (e.g. Trade, LookingForGroup).

Id is assigned when the client joins a channel, not by the order of the channels in the Voice Chat window. This means generic channels such as 'Party' and 'Battleground' will not have a static id if you join any number of custom channels before joining a party or battleground. If you wish to find the id of a channel use the GetNumVoiceSessions and GetVoiceSessionInfo functions as shown below.

function GetChannelIDByName(name)
   for id=1, GetNumVoiceSessions() do
      if name == GetVoiceSessionInfo(id) then
         return id
      end
   end
end

If you don't need to keep a reference of the id and simply wish to set a channel as active by name.

function SetChannelIDByName(name)
   for id=1, GetNumVoiceSessions() do
      if name == GetVoiceSessionInfo(id) then
         SetActiveVoiceChannelBySessionID(id)
         break
      end
   end
end
