How do I disable chat on Console? Since the new update enables it for all console users, shouldn’t you be able to disable it? Apparently not. The UI is very big, and you can’t do anything in about it. It overlaps other UIs and while you can still click them and this is a very good feature, can’t we please just disable it? Not only that but if you’ve been on console and have tested the update, you’ll know that names in the chat window are considered UIs and they are selectable. Other devices can close the chat window so we should have a console setting that lets us do the same. I really don’t know why I need to write this because this seems like it should have already been implemented but it hasn’t so here we are. I have tried chat disabling PC settings but it just makes the chat bar say your settings make it so you cant chat. If there are any Roblox employees that see this then please consider what I’m suggesting, thanks.
Wouldn’t something like this work?
local GIS = game:GetService("GuiService")
local TCS = game:GetService("TextChatService")
if GIS:IsTenFootInterface() then
TCS.ChatWindowConfiguration.Enabled = false
TCS.ChatInputBarConfiguration.Enabled = false
end
Assuming this code works on console, it will hide the chat window and chat input bar.
You can also add the channels tab into this if you use it.
That would work yes, but I mean in actual Roblox itself. There’s no setting to disable the chat if you want it to. This is hard to explain but when you go into a game on PC you can click a button to hide the chat, but there isn’t a way to hide the chat on console.
From what i’ve tested, you simply hide the chat by pressing RB on a xbox controller, and i’d assume its a similar button for playstation.
Yeah I’ve just played right now and found that out for myself. Don’t know if that was always there but it is now.
You do have to activate the menu first though
Honestly, it’s probably better to have it in the menu so there wont be conflict with whatever the experience’s use for RB is.
