Hoping that Push-To-Talk gets put in at some point.
Also hoping for some settings options to either keep the voice icon above the players head, move the voice icon to be next to the chat icon in the top left or hide it completely.
Plenty of times that I turned on voice on accident either through a GUI that was obscuring it or having to click anywhere near the center of the screen and pressing it.

Stumbled back onto this post. Roblox is rolling out spatial voice to very little groups of people periodically.

Take it from someone who has access to voice chat via ID Verification, sure its great you’ll start off a bit skeptical with it then you’ll join a few games mess around with it for a little while then you start realizing a large majority of the games that do have it are filled with toxic players so you’ll start playing regular games further coming to the conclusion voice chat literally sucks as we have a restrictive API with it you can barely utilize it in anyway you’d thing you can on a different platform so any plans you may have with it aside from joining a few hangout games are essentially ruined by the sheer limitations it has.

I’ve been waiting forever for a response about expanding the API so things like voice channels or speakers are possible, and yet voice chat seems to have been forgotten about like many other updates here.

Chat with Voice will roll out to all eligible 13+ users in the US and exit beta in the coming weeks.
At Roblox, we prioritize safety and civility on our platform, as a result, we are removing this feature from private servers. We are working towards a solution to enable Chat with Voice within private servers in the future. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Are there any plans to improve the current UI solution for displaying Spatial Voice Activity? I don’t think I speak for just myself when I say that having a constant bubble above the player’s head ruins the immersive experience. Why not include it in the top bar ribbon, just like chat?
Would love to hear what the team’s thoughts are on this.

When will the API for voice chat come out so that developers can better manage players and users?
Adding more users to a feature that is a pain to develop around is aggravating. The irony of releasing this product without good developer controls feeling tone deaf is not lost.
To handle muting disruptive players, you need to use a hacky SDK solution: VoiceChatSDK - Mute, Unmute, Set Volume & More!
The priority of safety and civility should be core values to any developer on this platform. And as such, let us help you with this priority by giving us the tools to deal with those that may not speak with civility.
Adding a bool to determine if a player can speak or not would already be a huge quality of life improvement.
Please give us an update on the status of the voice chat API.

It’s extremely difficult to hear that this feature is leaving beta this soon given how much hasn’t been provided so far. I strongly hope they change course on this because these basic features are a must in pushing this scale of users.

How did any feedback given for 3 months over a year* go unaddressed, but the feature is still going to leave beta?

How does a feature that has a complete lack of developer agency go live while “respecting the community”?
I’m just curious.

This change genuinely upsets me. I use VC in private servers during regular game nights with my family back home. As I live across a whole ocean, I understandably cannot afford to fly back and forth repeatedly to hang out with them. Roblox was perfect for us - it allowed us to play a plethora of games in private spaces without needing to use a chat filter that is god awful for any sort of communication in languages different than English.
I’d love to switch to public servers for game nights but it’s not as fun to play games with your grandparents when kids repeatedly walk up to you and either make fun of your native language or are straight up xenophobic towards us.
Now, not only do I need to make sure that their devices are strong enough to run Roblox, I need to make sure that their strong enough for Roblox and a different VOIP platform riddled with scammers and that their internet speeds are fast enough to handle the streaming of both. Completely forget incorporating any other relatives to gamenights now as everything now gets overcomplicated.
It is so painful that I have to cancel gamenights with my distant family cus Roblox seems to have a decision making quota for all features that get disabled with no real ETA on when they get reenabled.

Are there any plans for a release outside the US? Also, was the choice made to avoid overloading the moderation?

Can I get a clarification on Chat with Voice in reserved servers?
If I understand correctly, Private Servers are user created on roblox.com and Reserved Servers are what we create as developers with TeleportService. Will voice chat continue to work in Reserved Servers?

Please re-enable this ASAP

That makes little sence. Don’t you have moderation in private servers?
