Hi, I am in a process of attempting to push the boundaries of what is possible on Roblox and develop a experience that can handle 200 active users in a single server, however, I quickly ran into limitation when trying to implement voice chat capabilities as I learned that it is only supported on 50 user servers. I do understand why the limitation was put in-place, but I find it strange that the limitation wasn’t instead put on the number of users who can speak simultaneously. I would highly appreciate if Roblox could remove the server size limit and instead limit the number of people who speak simultaneously. Voice chat is important for my experience as large part of it revolves around socialization and cooperation between users, without it, the experience won’t be as enjoyable and thus limit its success.
Well, they do have a good reason for that. If they let 200 people talk at the same time, conversations would be nearly impossible
And if they gave developers this option, since any big company prefers to develop their servers horizontally, they wouldn’t be able to keep up 200 people in voice chat on one single server
I’ve already addressed this, I don’t want to remove the limit entirely, I want it changed so that the server can be as big as you want, but number of people who can participate in voice chat activity will be still limited to 50, and it will be at developer’s discretion to decide who and when can participate.
Well, that is quite complicated for Roblox and that will never happen in a million years
Sorry if I didn’t read your topic fully
ROBLOX staff have the ability to manually grant games larger voice chat enabled servers, so it’s certainly possible on a technical level. I understand why they started out with a limit - it was new, unstable technology after all - but I don’t see why such a low limit still exists when there are plenty of games out there with proximity VOIP features where servers are a lot bigger.
The low limit at the moment is the only thing stopping me from including VC in my experience, which would benefit it a LOT.
