Chat with Voice Developer Beta

Too many people spamming every spatial voice thread with ID security. This is likely no different than standard ID verification anywhere else and poses no threat to your privacy. We don’t need to litter every thread with people spamming about age verification. You need an ID to do a lot of things online such as online casinos, some online trading platforms etc. If you’re too scared of a safe method of ID verification then just don’t participate? We don’t need multiple conversations about data leaks and other hypothetical situations on every thread about spatial voice :woozy_face:

Roblox staff likes to read the discussions on announcements but when they always get littered with this nonsense I feel like they are turned off to read further once the thread totally derails into pointless arguments. If you feel like there is an issue with ID verification security you can always create a dedicated thread for that.

I would love to see a feature where we could pre-record voice lines or sounds that can only be used in the experience it was created. This would make it way easier to implement voice lines into our games and lift the financial burden that comes with uploading hundreds of audio lines that cannot be changed.

Just sounds like an overcomplicated voice bind system that’s already currently possible, unless you want to make it entirely customized by the player?

When you join a server, does Roblox try to match you with servers that have players using Voice Chat?

Where does the voice originate from? Is it the character position, camera position, is there a way I can change this position?

To what I know and have heard, it teleports you to servers with other people with Voice Chat access.

I’m pretty sure someone in here said it, and one of my friends who has it said it, buuut it could all be a coincidence. :wink:

When you use an ObjectPosition ListenerType, you perceive sound through the position of the object while using the orientation of the camera.

I want to know / change where the sound is emitted from, not where it’s heard from.

This update also good even players cant have voice chat program and roblox running at same time.! for instances if only has 8GB or 4GB on system device…

Definitely seems like it! I’ve not been able to join servers that are most populated with voice chat users. And that the only way I can join is by being lucky and having teleport service fail or be lucky and manage to get in by joining through a friend who has voice chat.

Read the document I linked previously. It explains it

Well, as it is only 5000 developers I’d imagine not a lot of them would also be playing that game a lot, yknow? But I’m not one to talk, I don’t have VC, so I don’t actually know what happens with joining, etc.

This is what they write but they do not guarantee and there is no link that links to privacy.
This shows that it is not safe to Put data inside at Roblox Like ID/ Face.

They will probably rely on a third party service for this thing.

They take off their responsibilities only by writing a post (This is not legally enough)
Words without a link with realy privacy are useless.

Until roblox improves this aspect it is better NOT TRUST to upload you’re data to their system.

Not guaranteeing anything the chances that your data will be resold is much higher

I’m failing to see how changing the position of a ‘listener’ influences where a user’s voice is emitted from.

This only changes the position / orientation of where the user hears sound from.

I don’t think you understand what you’re talking about.

Relying on a third party service means Roblox will straight up never see your face or id card, the 3rd party will. It’s not Roblox’s “system”, it’s the battle-tested 3rd party’s, which no Roblox employee or system can access.

You know, the 3rd party that actually has the infrastructure and employees in place to keep it safe?

Whats with people that already have spatial voice chat?
Do they still need to verify?

So why doesn’t roblox post privacy documents or the site name?
You know the chances of data being stolen are the same?

Can you imagine what a hacker would if he stole data or intercepted it, how many identities and how much money he would make?

When data is stolen roblox will no longer be able to repay you in any way.

I myself don’t care much if my data got leaked, but I’m sure that once it is available to the public they will add a paragraph regarding voice chat under “Roblox Privacy and Cookie Policy”. Also, the fact that they stated they do not store any data means that it’s true, otherwise they could be fined millions of dollars.
