Hello there,

Is there a way to make it so Chat Bubbles go above the Billboard so the Billboard doesn’t cover it up.

I am using the new TextChatService.

You can try setting zindex of UI itself to be as low as possible;
Other than that i don’t think it is possible becouse no access to coregui

If you are interested, I have released an open source version of TextChatService. OpenTextChatService - Open-Source Implementation of TextChatService. You can edit the display order/zindex to be whatever you like.

Make sure AlwaysOnTop is disabled for the BillboardGui

Strange. It is disabled but it still seems to do it.

Hmm, did you change anything about the default Roblox bubble chat?

No. I’ve made it on a brand new baseplate. I’ve even done it again and it still happens.

Open up your explorer and find the “TextChatService” and Expand it, after doing that find and select the “BubbleChatConfiguration” Instance

Now open your Properties window and find the LocalPlayerStudsOffset property and set it to whatever you like (If your OverheadUI is let’s say 3 studs big just set the property to 0, 3, 0)

Ye you could do what @ThtRookie said add the bubble chat above your headtag

I could but the overhead will be quite big so players will need to look up a lot to see their messages.
