What you’re trying to do is allowed, though I’m not certain how it’s done you shouldn’t have to worry about your game getting banned. Hopefully someone else knows how to detect this, since as you said it is a great idea.
They used also some hacks to send the voice to roblox. They send your real voice (Not changed like translate’s one) and also it can’t be filtered. So, this isn’t possible because this is bypassing roblox’s moderation system.
Yeah, true. It is a great idea (especially since who wins gets ROUX).
But if no one can do it, it is getting streamed, so I will review the footage before I get the roux
I don’t think you are really allowed to give robux, this may be seen as a scam and get you banned.
I’ll have to re-read the TOS then.
Edit: It doesn’t seem to be breaking rules, I may have missed something, I’ll check again.
Edit 2: I just searched the word “scam”, and I think I might be breaking the rules. But then again, the game wasnt made for a prize, the livestream is.
The OP is not looking for the voice-chat feature, which as you said, isn’t allowed. He’s looking for a way to detect the if the player is using the Microsoft Store version of Roblox or the regular version, which is allowed. They did not use “some external systems” as you call it to know what version of Roblox they’re using. And no, they didn’t it do it because “it is the single Windows that can be hacked by him”, they did it to prevent exploiters inside their game.
Yes, they’re exploiters/hackers/whatever you want to call it, but no, they didn’t use anything illegal in Roblox terms to make the voice-chat game. They found a way to use HTTPService and a clever use of changing pitch and volume of I’m guessing a very short audio asset to reproduce sounds. This is not a hack but just a smart way to use sounds in Roblox. I’m not justifying their actions as they’re not allowed, I am just clarifying that they didn’t use exploits/hacks to achieve what they did.
Now, once again, the OP is asking how they managed to detect what version of roblox a certain user is using. Please, for the love of god, if you don’t know how it’s done don’t talk about it. EDIT: This statement backfired.
OP, what you are asking is allowed and it’s possible somehow, I hope someone finds the way and answers your question soon. Please don’t listen to anybody saying this is not permitted unless otherwise said by Roblox Staff.

Almost all of this info is wrong. They did use HTTPService, but they actually uploaded all the sounds to roblox, with the rbxencryptedassetid:// behind them, which somehow bypassed moderation. It used a off-site link to record voices, and then uploaded that into the rbxencryptedassetid://, and then played it with some weird stuff. But, one thing you said is true. It was not a glitch in the windows 10 version to be able to do this, because you CANT even upload sounds in the Windows 10 version.
May I know the source of this?
“to detect if you were using the Windows 10 Version to prevent exploiting.”
This is simply untrue. The Windows store client if anything has less security measured aimed at stopping cheats. I’d consider it pointless as I’m sure an exploiter could find a way to spoof information on what client they are using. You’re only going to end up hurting yourself in the end by not allowing certain official clients to be used.
Of course it’s not an efficient solution to prevent exploiters, and you’d get less players in the long run.
The creators knew the game wasn’t going to last long and knew there aren’t many exploits for the Microsoft Store version of Roblox, so for their case it actually was a good idea.
They found a way to use HTTPService and a clever use of changing pitch and volume of I’m guessing a very short audio asset to reproduce sounds.
This isn’t true. They were abusing a bug in order to upload sound data in a way that bypassed the moderation queue. The actual assets themselves were not uploaded as sounds.
He’s right, take back my info.

I’ve personally talked to the person who made the game and I know for a fact he’s (Diegnified) wrong.
A while back, I made a post asking about rbxencryptedasset id, because I saw it in the console of the bloxy awards game. Well, that post kinda died (and got removed, I’m guessing roblox might’ve found vulnerabilites in it maybe?) But someone who had good memory private-messaged me, like a month after a made the post, talking about the voice chat game. He told me he found a few things in the creator of the game’s inventory. He had some models with some simple instructions. One of them said
local AudioFile = "rbxencryptedassetid://1818" --Normally a proper ID would be put here,
--but due to security concerns players will need to make their own.
local Sound = Instance.new("Sound",workspace)
Sound.Volume = 10
Sound.SoundId = AudioFile
And the second one just had a coment.
--Audio Driver
--Lets audio be encoded to playback in Sound format using rbxencryptedassetid://
He thought that it converted binary into a rbxencryptedassetid, and then they could bypass the moderation.
Oh wow, would’ve never guessed.
Thanks for proving me wrong.
Pretty sure the person uploaded that to troll others.
A way of getting a players platform is using local Platform = UserInputService:GetPlatform()
However this can only be used in corescripts (I don’t know how to bypass)
Then to get their platform (depending on which one you want) check the api-reference

You probably couldn’t check if the client has Windows 10. But with the voice chat game, they used the Windows app version of roblox instead of ROBLOX Player. That could bring some creative ideas.
I could not say this is 100% correct but checking for UWP with Platform could tell you if it is roblox windows, as Universal Windows Platform (UWP) is what Windows 10 use to develop universal apps (that run on windows 10)

You cannot accurately detect which platform a player is on (with the exception of console, which is the only platform to use the ten foot interface, to my knowledge).
You can, however, check things such as the TouchEnabled, MouseEnabled, etc. properties of the UserInputService, in addition to screen size, which can help you to make a guess, but bear in mind people could be playing on a touchscreen PC, a phone with mouse and keyboard connected, etc.
