Chat with voice & Audio API [Update]

Boy, kids these days use vulgar language more than anyone would want them to :skull:

Either way, as the user above me stated, it’s probably so bots can’t join games 'n stuff… Still annoying lol.

(god I sound like a boomer)

This makes me wonder if we are ever gonna get some sort of text to speech API soon. (I would use the hell out of it)

I think I would also agree with this.

But most importantly, voice chat being enabled in 100+ servers is where my mind is at.

Yeah, I’m still not sure why the higher ups at roblox thought it was smart to set a limit on that lol.

Networking performance reasons I believe. But personally, ill take the performance hit.

I think that would be fun for commands in fps games too.

There’s also barely any optimization as well as a whole plethora of things which are very much needed.

is there any estimation on when chat with voice will exit the beta?

This is long overdue and I’m excited to hear that this is finally on the way.

with you guys working on this, will we be able to change how and where the voice is heard? so the users voice can be heard through a speaker or an intercom?

When will you be unbanning users who got banned during the voice chat beta?

Myself and a few friends of mine have been falsely mass reported before and banned from using VC “until the end of the beta” and I believe everyone affected would appreciate some transparency.

My god, please just fix this, it’s all I ask. I was here for not even a minute and I got suspended.

What did you say in VC?


Although this feature is cool, I don’t see spatial voice APIs getting a widespread use due to compatibility issues. Not every user has access to it.

Though this does sound cool:

with the addition of playback ranges for the Sound instance.

Moderation is probably still being tweaked, and there is a patent filed by roblox for real time voice chat censoring. Maybe once this is in place we’ll get hopefully get an API soon for chat channels and non spatial voices.

Other companies have tried similar for automated automation with no luck, not that long ago.

I was actually about to make a feature-request post about this. Fortunately, I came across your post. Please make sure that developers can mute players, but not unmute them (for security reasons, I guess??).

Ever since Voice Chat has been released, people have been getting banned from it with zero evidence. At this point, I would suggest temporarily disabling it for all accounts until the Report Anything updates go live, to ensure the safety of those who are old enough to use it.

Any updates? It’s into the “next few months” period now.

I’d love to, after ~2 years, finally have an API to work with for voice chat.

As a staff member, do you have anything to say on how the current moderation of voice chat actually works?
