# Plugin configuration

> Every setting of the DiscordMute plugin in Among Us.

The plugin creates its `config.json` the first time you start Among Us. You find it in `BepInEx/DiscordMute` inside your Among Us folder.

<warning>

In a folder path, write every backslash twice (`C:\\Path`) or use forward slashes (`C:/Path`). A single backslash breaks the file and the plugin falls back to its defaults.

</warning>
