Bubble Chat is now integrated into TextChatService!

Would this include specific NPCs by any chance?

Yeah, we have NPC-related work carved out in our timeline. We’d like to design something that can treat NPCs and Players generically

Thanks for the feedback. We’ve added this to our list of dev controls to provide over the following releases.

UI support for Channel Tabs is on our roadmap. We know it is important to a lot of existing experiences so we do want to provide support in TextChatService.

Due to this update bubbles on parts with the function chat are broken.

That affect my game My Prison. I have to use the old chat temporary, hope this bug will be fixed soon.

We are tracking this issue here: Dialogs do not show up if Bubble Chat is disabled and will be prioritizing a fix to come in the next 2 weeks.

Adding on to per-player bubble chat customization, would per-bubble customization be something that could be looked in to as well?

When I zoom in, bubble chat can’t be seem. Its hidden inside your head, and for some reason changes depending on zoom distance.

Exactly, this per-bubble idea is what we had in mind when I mentioned generalizing it further than before.

What do you mean? This has existed for about a year now in normal Chat service.

This is just Amazing! This is a Very important thing to invest in. As roblox Develops any farther, we will need a Up-To-Date TextChatService.
My Question though is Will it become easier to use for Starter scripters Anytime Soon?
Because sometimes I encounter bugs and i Blame it on me because i wrote the code.

With this implementation, are there plans to allow developers to hide the microphone above player’s heads when voice is enabled? I find it very in-the-way and it would be nice to be able to control this just as we can control bubble visibility. I personally believe it would be better placed in the topbar where the “BETA” indicator is currently.

It was more difficult to, now you can just change the properties without using a script. This also makes it easier to test the appearance since you can change it during runtime.

This is excellent news! I remember struggling in an attempt to find a way to enable bubble chat for my experiences and struggling even MORE to customize the bubble chat. I am so glad to see this feature!

Great job Roblox, keep up with the amazing updates :hearts:
