No. You are simply required to modify your custom chat in a way in which all messages are sent and delivered through TextChatService. This can be quite annoying unfortunately.

This explains it well:

TextChatService does have a new frontend UI. However you have no obligation to use the UI, and there is absolutely no requirement that you use the UI. TextChatService is primarily a backend service which allows for better moderation and systems to be built. The TextChatService API has more features, and likely better performance.

There is a large difference between TextChatService API and the TextChatService UI. Frontend vs backend, people.

Can I make my own UI with TextChatService?

• Yes, you may disable the default TextChatService UI and replace visual elements with your designs that best integrate with your experiences. Roblox’s policy is that all messages are sent and delivered through TextChatService’s TextChannels. Developers have the option and freedom to render those messages as long as they comply with our Community Standards.
