Hey, I have a UI where you can turn on/off chat tags and pick which chat tag you want. It works yet when you test with multiple devices and speak it only shows up for yourself and not others.

Help would be appreciated.

local chatTag = settingFrame.ScrollingFrame.ChatTag
local tag_remote = rs.Game.Events.RemoteEvents.tag_remote
local chatTagOn = false
local TagClicked = false

chatTag.ImageButton.Activated:Connect(function()
	chatTagOn = not chatTagOn
	if chatTagOn then
		chatTag.ImageButton.Image = "rbxassetid://113287267199779"
		settingFrame.ChatTagFrame.Visible = true
	else
		chatTag.ImageButton.Image = "rbxassetid://86158734518876"
		settingFrame.ChatTagFrame.Visible = false
		TagClicked = false
		tcs.OnIncomingMessage = function(message : TextChatMessage)
			if not message.TextSource then
				return
			end
		end
	end
end)

for _, tag in settingFrame.ChatTagFrame:GetChildren() do
	if tag:IsA("ImageButton") or tag:IsA("TextButton") then
		tag.Activated:Connect(function()
			if TagClicked == false then
				TagClicked = not TagClicked
				print("player Clicked")
				tcs.OnIncomingMessage = function(message : TextChatMessage)
					if not message.TextSource then
						return
					end
					
					local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
					local playerByID = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
					properties.PrefixText = "<font color='"..tags_module.UVCTags[tag.Name].Color.."'>"..tags_module.UVCTags[tag.Name].Tag.."</font> "..message.PrefixText 
					return properties
				end
				
			elseif TagClicked == true then
				TagClicked = not TagClicked
				tcs.OnIncomingMessage = function(message : TextChatMessage)
					if not message.TextSource then
						return
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end```

As far as I can see, you haven’t fired the remote event meaning the chat tag that was picked on the client would only be different for that specific client

TextChatService from my knowledge only works on a local script.

Not too familiar with it, but if that’s the case you would still need to send to the server an then have the server send to each individual client.
Right now, it’ll never show for other clients, because you’re literally doing it on each separate client.
