You can check the messages by modifying the TextChatMessages given by TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage

--!strict
-- this is on the client
local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")
local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")

local function onIncomingMessage(message: TextChatMessage)
	local source = message.TextSource
	local player = if (source) then PlayersService:GetPlayerByUserId(source.UserId) else nil
	
	if (not player) then return end
	
	message.PrefixText = string.gsub(message.PrefixText, player.DisplayName, player.Name)
end

-- callbacks (like OnIncomingMessage) can only be set to one function
-- if you're setting this callback multiple times, you may have to combine the
-- function above with any other functions you're connecting
TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = onIncomingMessage
