New Bubble Chat and TextChatService Customization APIs

Feature request:

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to customize individual BubbleChat visibility based on distance, environment context and focus.

The .OnBubbleAdded BubbleChatConfiguration feature of TextChatService does not support adjusting the .AlwaysOnTop property of BillBoardGui.

If this issue is addressed, it would improve development and reduce reliance on Legacy Chat service.
Use cases:

  • Make a specific player’s chat take priority over other nearby players.
  • Make a specific player’s chat bubble visible throughout the map/environment.
  • Focus on a specific player or NPC’s chat among a clutter of chat bubbles being displayed by other nearby players.
