Hi everyone,
We’re excited to share the Roblox Community Space and showcase upcoming social features that we are developing for the Roblox platform. We plan to open-source this space soon so you can incorporate these features in your experiences as well!
New Social Features
Here’s what you can try today:
-
Spatial Voice (Beta) - We are inviting select developers to preview the upcoming Spatial Voice feature within the Roblox Community Space. You’ll get a Private Message from Roblox if you are invited, and we’ll gradually invite more developers in the coming months. Our goal is to let all interested developers test Spatial Voice while it is in Beta.
-
Friend Locator - Easily spot your friends in the community space and warp to them.
-
Spawn with Friends - Join an experience and spawn next to your friends.
-
Emote Bar - Express yourself and have impromptu dance parties.
-
Wall Art - Post notes and stickers on the walls to leave your mark on the world.
-
Photo Booth - Strike a pose and take a photo with a unique background.
The Roblox Community Space is a lab where we’ll continue to show off new features and gather feedback from you. We’d love to hear what your favorite features are and if there’s anything you’d like to see next!
FAQ
What is “Spatial Voice?”
- Spatial Voice is a proximity-based voice chat feature that simulates how we hear people in the real world.
When can I try Spatial Voice (Beta)? How do I know if I’m eligible?
- This feature is in beta, and is currently only available to a limited number of eligible developers. You will receive a Private Message later today with instructions if you are selected to participate. Over time, we will expand availability to all interested developers.
Will I be able to turn these social features on/off in my experiences?
- Yes, you will have the ability to enable/disable these as you wish, modify their functionality, and customize their behavior as you wish. As the developer, you have full control over them.
