Do you need a server or local script for teleporting between places?

Do you need to use a server script to teleport a player between places? Or can you use a local script? (using TeleportService)

Thank you in advance!

It’s best to use a server script to teleport players rather than using a local script. I think you are still able to use a local script to teleport players, but there can be issues when doing so, so its better using a Server Script.

This is not true, TeleportService is mostly functional within client scripts.

Source?

You can use the TeleportService in local scripts but you can only teleport the local player of which those scripts are running for.

When teleporting from the client, as only the Players.LocalPlayer can be teleported, no player argument is required.

The Lua VM in studio. I’m certain you used TeleportService before.
