Yes, using the SpeakerAdded event:

local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService)

ChatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(speakerName)
    local speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(speakerName)
    if speaker then
        speaker.Name = "idk" -- Set any name u want here
    end
end)

This work but how would i do it to this scripts cuz now its not working

local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(chr)
		if chr:FindFirstChild("Head"):FindFirstChild("NameTag") then
			ChatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(speakerName)
				local speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(speakerName)
				print(speaker.Name)
				if speaker then
					speaker.Name = plr:WaitForChild("PData").FirstName.Value.."_"..plr:WaitForChild("PData").LastName.Value -- Set any name u want here
				end
			end)
		end
	end)
end)

im tryna make it to where when the player join it wait for this head tag to come and then it will set ur name in the chat accordingly there are no errors

Because the legacy chat doesn’t run under CoreGui there’re multiple ways to achieve this. Two of which including using the ChatService API to grab the speaker object and change their name and also directly modifying the chat UI text(since it exists under PlayerGui).

Is there any errors, you also might want to add a slight wait in the first of the script.
