Getting the old bubbles

This is the final step to get the old bubbles, It’s very simple and not even takes 1 minute!

1. Make sure to have the chat version to the Legacy one
When you create a place, you will have the TextChatService version, which is the new one, however, the old bubbles does not support the new service.

To switch to LegacyChatService, simply select the TextChatService object in the explorer and set the ChatVersion to LegacyChatService

2. Getting the chat modules
Finally, this is the step to install them.
Simply click Play in the top of your place to play the place in studio.

After you did that, simply open the Chat in the explorer, select the ClientChatModules folder then copy it to your clipboard by doing CTRL+C or by right clicking it and select “Copy”.

After that, click “Stop” located in the topbar to get back to developing

Then, paste the folder in the Chat located in the explorer, open the ChatSettings script and copy those settings:

Boom! You now have the old bubbles!

Pro Tip

Want to hide the chat history? Simply set the module.ClassicChatEnabled to false!
With this module, you can also customize the chat how you like it!

Hope this helped you!

:zap: Faster Mode (Recommended)

There is also a faster mode on how to do this, here’s how:

First of all, you have to make a LocalScript and put it inside of ReplicatedFirst. After that, type the following code in the LocalScript:

game:GetService("Chat"):RegisterChatCallback(Enum.ChatCallbackType.OnCreatingChatWindow, function()
	return {
		BubbleChatEnabled = true, 
		ClassicChatEnabled = true
	}
end)

I hope this helped you!

After a lot of tinkering, I figured out you simply need to uncheck “BubbleChatEnabled” in Chat. Then it should work.

Thank you for this, I actually faced many issues few months back about this issue, guess now I can finally use the classic chat instead of modifying new one to mimic old style.
