I think this is a nice way to engage users to make more friends, or discuss game topics, or for friends to help each other beat a game such as an obby…but I have a question I haven’t found an answer to, maybe I haven’t looked hard enough - but, what will he done to prevent cuss words? I am sure there will be a lot of bypassing if there is a program put in place to prevent cuss words, the reason I am asking is because of people possibly saying very hateful things towards other users…

Edit: When voice chat is fully released, will there be a report system to report users saying hurtful things or bypassing the cuss filter…and will reports be taken seriously?

I’m referring to what happened for @ItsKoiske in game:

I dont like that this needs a phone number attached to your account. I do not trust Roblox with my phone number, its just another way for someone to get into your account and provides no actual security or identity verification

You are able to take a screenshot by pressing esc (in-game menu) > capture and save the image locally to your device. We plan on expanding the screenshot functionality in the future :slight_smile:

Just tested it out & it works super nicely! In the social experience at least, it would be nice to know which players are able to hear you when they themselves don’t have their microphone on, rather than needing to ask them if they can hear you. It’d also be pretty good if there was a push to talk option, rather than needing to have constant transmission. It’s also unclear as to how you are supposed to mute another user for yourself. Great feature overall – is it possible to enable it on any games outside of the community space at all at the moment?

After spending around 30 minutes trying to get my microphone to work, it still hasn’t budged. I’m currently getting a green microphone symbol above my head but the green ‘bar’ doesn’t go up when I speak.

I’m using my default microphone, which works on other apps but not Roblox.

I haven’t been invited yet, but I’d definitely love to! It seems like a cool new concept, and I feel like it’d bring the community closer together! I am really hoping to be able to test out the beta soon.

Whilst I haven’t been invited, It really does look like a cool addition to the platform that can bring communities and people closer together! I absolutely cannot wait to try it out. I truly do believe this has a huge potential to be one of the main ways of communication.

It’s good to see Roblox improving with features over the years, I hope it can become even more successful with this new feature.

I’m wondering, how will I know if I’m eligible to receive a message of invitation before I receive it? I want to know if there’s a requirement to be eligible for this beta. As far as it seems, only the top game’s creators, and developers involved in special programs, have been eligible.
I want to know what it takes to get the message inviting me in, because I would really love to test this out.

Another thing I would like to mention: How long is the first wave of invitations taking? Did the 5,000 people already receive their invites? Or is it over the next day or so? I would love to know!
Thanks!

Same here. every setting is correct and works perfectly fine with the same settings on discord. Another thing I noticed too was that the microphones wouldn’t pop up for other people nor could I even hear them. It also seems like they can’t hear me either.

my microphone is set to the default device and works perfectly fine on discord. I rejoined several times, on different servers even on different days. I restarted my computer, even reinstalled the roblox client. No success. I’ll probably test on a separate device to see if its any related to the device you’re playing on.

here are some relevant pictures.

UPDATE:
i played on an older computer and voice chat worked perfectly.
no idea why its not working with my newer gaming pc but here’s the specs on both PCs

My PC:
OS: Windows 10
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600x
GPU: AMD Radeon 6700xt
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000 T-FORCE
Motherboard: B450-HDV R4.0

Older PC:
OS: Windows 10
DELL OptiPlex 790
CPU: Intel i3 2120
GPU: Integrated Graphics / Intel HD Graphics 2000
RAM: 4gb

UPDATE: Finally fixed the problem, the issue was the format of the microphone and speakers. I set them to 48000hz and it fixed itself.

This feature is hands-down the best feature for social interaction on Roblox. The possibilities are endless!

It would be great if we could add SoundEffects to our voices. This would open up even more possibilities for us developers. Here are some cool use-cases for this:

  • More realistic 3D spatial audio that’s effected by the environment (muffled sound behind walls or enclosed rooms)
  • A megaphone which will make the player’s voice louder and sound like they’re talking through an actual megaphone
  • Distorted radio effect (for example, when communicating with your team on a shooter game like Phantom Forces)
  • Fun voice changer effects
  • Autotune?

It would also be great if Roblox gave the ability to create multiple sources from which a player’s voice could be heard from, which would make it possible to create a features like a microphone which would play your voice through speakers. Imagine live virtual concerts or public announcements! The possibilities here are endless!

This could become annoying as users would annoy users by shouting all the time.

The current sound effects do not support this.

Yikes. What a waste of an invite to test just to act like that.

Then you can just mute that person.

There is a DistortionSoundEffect | Roblox Creator Documentation.

Yet, this just distorts the audio (makes it crack), at least from my experience.

I love this feature! What an amazing step forward for Roblox, I cant wait to try this out in my own games and see the creative ways developers use it.

right… i was invited and idk why but like i can’t test it lol? there’s no one else in game that has it
