Roblox Community Space: A Vision of Social Experiences on Roblox

I just tested the Spatial Voice and I got to admit it works much better than I thought it would. I like the microphone chat bubbles. It makes muting people (or yourself) very simple and intuitive. Sound is clear and positioning works perfectly.

I am looking forward to players using it in my game, especially in races, where keyboard typing is tricky.

Good job.

Question: Will there ever be Push To Talk in VC? I just tested it and it was quite annoying having to mute/unmute. Thanks!

your fix worked for me as well.

I’m pretty sure someone else would have asked this but will any software that plays sound through your microphone pick up? (Voicemod, Soundpad)
If so, this could be a serious issue where copyrighted material is played in games which could probably lead to something serious down the line.

Taken from the roblox blog post:

Virtual communication will also be subject to the same forms of natural moderation that exist in the real world. To continue with our restaurant example, if you yell at someone during that public meal, it’s likely that people around you will ask you to quiet down or, depending on how offensive you are, you’ll be asked to leave. There will be similar consequences on Roblox: our community will be able to self-regulate and flag a user that is not adhering to community standards, and that user may be removed from an experience or lose speaking privileges. The metaverse is an extension and augmentation of reality and the standards for civility that we hold ourselves to in the real world must carry over to the digital. – The Future of Communication in the Metaverse - Roblox Blog

A quick technical question, what bitrate will voice input be locked to? Would it also be possible to toggle the quality of audio (96kbps - 320kbps) in settings, and will that option be locked to premium users only?

what I said above goes for voice output as well.

Like what he said, could I also have access to it? Unless its automatic choosing. If not I will just wait until it expands. I have been excited for this a while.

Already seen a clip of someone blasting inappropriate audio thru it, which is embarrassing considering it’s an exclusive test that someone more mature could have been invited to instead. :upside_down_face:

Yep sadly, I mean they could have intended it as a joke but it’s rather immature in my eyes.

yeah no, if you got invited (like me) then in Roblox’s eyes they trust you with that responsibility and people who violate this shouldn’t be ONLY removed, but more action should be taken as this is a glimpse into who they actually are

I agree 100%, give their slot to another candidate that can provide constructive testing for the feature. :+1:t2:

Autotune could be very annoying

Ok, so I should’ve asked in my original post, first reply was more important.

I have two questions:

  1. Does the unusual Speaker object have anything to do with VoiceChat
  2. If so, does it allow us to spawn a user’s voice data over multiple sound sources because if yes that would be hella useful for server announcements or etc.
