I’m 14 and I have multiple IDs-- not sure how you don’t have any legal documentation containing your birth.

That API is only for identifying whether someone is capable of using spatial chat from a local-sided perspective and not what I’m looking for at all. I’m aware they are adding API which is why I asked “Will there be new API in the future.”

Question

It’s wonderful to hear that it’s starting to be rolled out as a full-fledged feature of the platform but there’s still a looming question I have about Voice Chat:


Local Server Playtesting Example

Even if players who have not verified their age remain unable to hear other users in Roblox Studio (during Team Create, for example), it would be wonderful to be able to test Voice Chat using a single account during Local Server playtests without having verified since you would only be able to hear and talk to yourself. Even though I will likely verify my age here in the future, maybe I should post a feature request for this once the Regular role on the Developer Forum is accessible again…


For instance, if you hosted a Local Server playtest with 2 player Instances, you could do the following:

  • Mute the mic for one player Instance and keep the game volume enabled

  • Unmute the mic for the other player Instance and mute the game audio

Afterward, you could talk through Voice Chat from the Character that has the unmuted microphone setting and be able to hear what it sounds like from the other Character model (that has the game audio enabled) at different distances, varying levels of volume, etc.



Even if this is already possible for users who have officially verified their age, allowing any user that has a 13+ account to have access to Voice Chat in this specific environment of Local Server Playtesting would provide a more intuitive experience for those who are interested in the following:

  • Configuring Voice Chat for their experiences to improve the quality of gameplay for users who would like to use Voice Chat

  • Testing Voice Chat to see if it’s something they’d be interested in enough to consider verifying their age in order to have full access to the feature

However, I understand if this functionality would not/could not be implemented for a variety of safety/security reasons in regards to Local Server Playtesting that I may be unaware of.

I have a feeling Roblox is trying to heavily make it difficult for the general public to have access to verification while they’re still doing more testing of how Spatial Voice will work. If you’re at least 13, you’re able to easily join a Roblox Discord server and communicate there. For this, we’re talking about publicly available chatting.

Currently doing the same for me aswell. Not sure what it means.

Edit; Didn’t understand. The issue isn’t with the spatial voice, but rather the warning on the mic. People cannot hear me.

Can you separate Voice Audio from Game Audio and throw it in the Settings UI? There are some cases where it’s impossible to hear anyone due to how loud the Game Audio is. I’ll post a feature request if necessary.

That would actually be really nice. I’d really like to see that, since I keep my game volume low, causing the voice chat volume to be low.

This isn’t the developer API.
Im also scared that I’m going to hear loads of screaming kids.

Developer Beta was cool. Now I’m scared.

This is due to VoiceChat being bandwidth heavy, a few of my friends found a way to get voice chat in a game with more than 30 players. It crashed in 10 seconds.

Guys, why my microphone doesn’t work on roblox, it works fully fine in other apps, like Discord, Skype, CS:GO etc. But roblox just shows red triangle, help me.

I never said that read what I said again.

My microphone was working for a little bit, but now I’m stuck with the error icon with a red triangle.
Might be an error on my part, idk

Passport, passport ID, birth certificate. :slightly_smiling_face:

My health card doesn’t have my photo in it for some reason but I have a student ID to put next to the health card to prove that it’s me. Is it possible to verify like that?
