Per-Channel Voice Regions Experiment

Hey Admins and Mods,

Today we're excited to share with you a new experiment that we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks. You'll no longer need to settle on choosing one server region that your voice channels run on for your whole server. Instead you'll be able to use a different region for each of your voice channels.

But what does this mean for you?
- Each of your voice channels will have a voice region setting. More regions means better call quality because you're not forcing one region for everyone.
- We've also added a new option called "Automatic." By default, all voice channel regions will be set to "Automatic." This means that the region will be automatically determined based on the first person to join an empty voice channel, and the region can change anytime a voice channel becomes completely empty and new person joins it.
- You still have the option to set a specific region if you want though. This option will be moving from Server Settings and is now found in each voice channel settings page.

We recommend using the default region, "Automatic", so you don't need to constantly change voice channel regions based on who is in a voice channel (Let Discord handle that!), but you're always able to make changes under Voice Channel Settings at any time.

Also — because there's a region setting for each voice channel now means that the permissions to manage this have changed. Instead of granting roles the Manage Server permission to change the server region, any roles that have the Manage Channel permission will be able to adjust the voice channel region if needed.

Like we mentioned, this experiment will be rolling out over the next few weeks, and if things look good we'll be swapping over to this system permanently.
