Thank you for the update! However I feel like there is much to be desired as you have not given a date for WHEN we can expect the update, for any of these products. Just that “it is coming within a few months.”
This isn’t the first time the developer community has been ghosted about audio (specifically Voice Chat API). A few months ago, you wanted to roll Voice Chat out of Beta and did not acknowledge the most liked reply. And Roblox clients still have that Beta button! What happened to this?
Why does the company feel it necessary to launch the updated Voice Chat API with other products that it can do without? The most requested feature of the Voice Chat API has been consistently; “Give us a way to turn off microphones for certain players.” I do not want to over-simplify or step on toes, but how hard can it be to give developers a bool toggle for this?
Without any kind of Voice Chat API documentation, the traditional way of fixing the platform fell to the developers, creating an SDK that allows you to turn off (in a hacky way) disruptive users. I assume we will need to rely on this method for another few months until you give us a date or a surprise announcement.
Please just come out with the bool toggle for muting and unmuting players first. Please do not hold back the updated Voice Chat API waiting on support for Facial Animations or Generative AI.
Please give us an official and supported way of muting players.
