I wanted to customize my chat bubbles using TextChatService. However, the chat bubbles don’t show up at all. (Manually Displaying Bubbles).
For context, the bubbles work fine when using the Chat service. Has anyone encountered this issue or knows how to fix it?
Ensure TextChatService.BubbleChatEnabled = true in a LocalScript and check Studio Settings → Beta Features to enable “TextChatService” and “Bubble Chat.” If manually displaying bubbles, use:
TextChatService:DisplayBubbleChatAt(part, "Hello world!")
Also, confirm no conflicting scripts are active. Check the output for errors if issues persist.
I didn’t realize it only works in LocalScripts. That’s a bit annoying, I don’t understand why it’s the case
yeah it’s a bit of a limitation with how Roblox handles client-side features. The TextChatService and chat bubbles are meant to run on the client to ensure better performance
Both services seem to handle bubbles differently, looks like the new one tries to maximise computing on the client side like you said.
