He mentioned that recently. Just scroll up a little bit.
Edit: No problem, Goat!

Following the launch of SocialService game invites, I’ve started getting “illegal teleport destination” errors. This wasn’t happening before and completely breaks our matchmaking system.
Perhaps it’s just a coincidence but it was working fine before and now it isn’t. Did something change with calling Teleport to Place Instance from the server?

I remember Pet Ranch Simulator just spammed us all with invitations. Apparently if you invite a few friends to that game, you get cool rewards, and the person that was invited got the rewards, too, but smaller IIRC.
So basically my friends were using me for rewards in a simulator. 
BUT it was a cool way of advertising, in fact, it was one of the first major uses of SocialService Game Invites, and I don’t want to spread hate, by the way, I was just annoyed with it at the time. And now I think back to that moment today.

Can anyone verify if the person joining on the invite link has their friends FollowUserId because I’m starting to think it’s 0 because players are complaining that it doesn’t work.

FollowUserId will only not be 0 if the game is launched from a join button flow (this can be done in Chat from a button labeld “Join” or the profile page “Join” button.) This feature does not create a Join button flow for invitations. This would be something we would like to support in the future.
This is likely a coincidence, teleport flows should not be affected by this change.
Unfortunately this is no longer possible with the latest changes made to GamePromptClosed, however you should be able to use FollowUserId if the user is joining from a Join button from the website. As mentioned earlier having invitation feature a Join button instead of a Play button is something we’d like to support in the future.
Thanks for the quick response. I’ll disable my invite system until FollowUserId is added to the Join button flow for invitations.
Will this be supported on gamepads at any time?

Looks cool although you should make it possible so developers can set the message although I understand that this could be abused.

Is it just me or does GameInvitePromptClosed not fire anything in the second argument?
I even took the implementation from the wiki and it still won’t work. I did notice a lot of core scripts giving out warnings, which look like this.
local SocialService = game:GetService("SocialService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local function canSendGameInvite(targetPlayer)
local res, canSend = pcall(SocialService.CanSendGameInviteAsync, SocialService, targetPlayer)
return res and canSend
end
local function promptGameInvite(targetPlayer)
local res, canInvite = pcall(SocialService.PromptGameInvite, SocialService, targetPlayer)
return res and canInvite
end
local function openGameInvitePrompt(targetPlayer)
local canInvite = canSendGameInvite(targetPlayer)
if canInvite then
local promptOpened = promptGameInvite(targetPlayer)
return promptOpened
end
return false
end
local function len(t)
local l = 0
for _ in pairs(t) do l = l + 1 end
return l
end
local function invitePromptClosed(senderPlayer, recipientIds)
print(len(recipientIds))
end
local function inputBegan(input, gameProcessed)
local inputType = input.UserInputType
local touch = Enum.UserInputType.Touch
local mouse1 = Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1
if inputType == touch or inputType == mouse1 then
openGameInvitePrompt(player)
end
end
script.Parent.InputBegan:Connect(inputBegan)
SocialService.GameInvitePromptClosed:Connect(invitePromptClosed)

But that 4hrs cooldown seem so long and sad if they don’t join, your going to have to wait that 4hrs just to invite someone else.
if you read any of the previous posts by staff you would know that it doesn’t return anything anymore
will GameInvitePromptClosed return an empty table forever or are there plans to change it someday?

Any more information now that it’s been 6 months?
No new information has been posted for this feature. If there’s something you’d like to know specifically, I’d recommend asking a more specific question.

We do not have immediate plans to re-enable this field.
Ideally we would instead provide a signal when someone has joined a game with the person who invited them, however this is currently not possible without some changes in our backend.
I also think this is a good idea. Could you do me a favor and make this it’s own thread for the feature request so it’s easier to track?

Is there any high-level idea of when this would happen? Could this be added to the roadmap?
Following up, I’ve created a feature request for this:
