Intersting idea, I look forward to using this feature.
Will spawn with friends for example option for developers to disable? I see this can ruin some game in genre like FPS.
Will there be any sort of interogation for developers to limit people who can hear them, and range?
The answer to your question was mentioned earlier:
I have a few questions.
This is kind of ground breaking! It really is a feature that can change a lot of things and the way we play with people!
Although everything may be cool in all we do have to worry about the wrongs, and we all know what that may be, or things that can happen.
9.9/10 
pain. i keep checking my messages too, i hope they release the next wave of invites soon.
13+ might have its doubts, But what will be helpful, is for Roblox to implement into there API the ability to change the age limit (not below 13, just above)
Yeah, plus allowing developers to specifically set how old someone can be to talk on a game could be a good way to counter toxic behaviour on VC for games that are known to have more toxicity on them.
If you’re one of the ones abusing the VC, I hope you get removed from the beta.
There is no age check from what Sisteralligator told me it’s 13+. And there isn’t a way to access voice chat unless you have been invited.
Is this only for more popular devs? Do you need a specific number of place visits?
Wonderful, thanks for progressing this platform in the right direction.
No one really knows the criteria to have been selected however they will be inviting more developers to test the feature out eventually.
If they want to push this whole “metaverse” ideaology, adding voice chat is an incredibly basic step zero that most games already have.
If they truly care about the “metaverse”, they would be fully invested in VR.
It’s shameful they don’t care about supporting VR anymore, and this needs to be changed.
I would be playing Roblox mostly in VR if it was properly supported on my Valve Index.
It’s not even hard either, your user interface can be fully VR compatable just by having a handheld version of the on-screen GUI. I.E: The GUI screen is on your left hand, and you interact with it just like a mouse would.
Well, I officially want to cry now-
Coming from a person who loves social and competitive games where voice communication is very important, I am not fully on any bandwagon when it comes to this topic. In the right situation, it can really enhance how people play games and communicate. For some games (outside of the platform), they simply wouldn’t work without in-game communication. My first thought would be Counter Blox, whose non-ROBLOX counterpart relies heavily on team-mate coordination and call-outs that can’t be done quick enough by typing.
The idea behind it is very good, actually, if you do look at ROBLOX as a game engine and platform. ROBLOX has obviously taken strides to expand who is playing their game, and by categorizing accounts into ‘13+’ or ‘under 13’, it’s been able to do so somewhat successfully.
As with any platform, making an account that is 13+ to use a service is not foolproof. If we want to compare to a platform like Steam, or even Discord, there is no “verification” and it all boils down to liability and the terms you agree to when signing up. Even 13 year olds don’t belong on many Discord servers, and to be exposed to unfiltered voice and text chats, but that’s just how it is.
It all boils down to making ROBLOX a platform that is welcoming to 13+ people, and that is more difficult than it seems. As of right now, the community, regardless if they’re 13+, sometimes can’t even say large numbers, their own usernames, or even mention social platforms outside of ROBLOX to communicate better on, without being filtered out. The standard for maturity on the platform and the extent at which people can communicate has already been set, and adding voice communication is a big leap.
I think the idea is right, and timing is not. Work on these things that scream “ROBLOX is a platform for children”, and start yelling “ROBLOX is a platform for everyone.” Give older players some more freedom first, and then make the jump to voice communication. I feel like everyone is wondering in their head “how are they gonna filter us in voice chat,” and also believe that the text filtering has gotten a bit too far. In my opinion, work with what we have. Once we finish that, then we start adding.
Hi
If you have the trust level member or higher you had an oppurtunity at being in the beta
Even top developers like clonetrooper (A person who is responsible for essentially posting every change to roblox studio, and was a high-visit top tier developer for god knows how long) didn’t get it, it selected 5k people randomly who were in the trust level Member+ on the devforums, which means me and you had an opportunity, we just weren’t lucky. If you scroll through this post you can see a majority of people who got access have this trust level, and some never even developed a game.
This is because you don’t have access yourself, you can only access VC-Enabled servers if you have access to the beta, if you don’t, you get teleported as you described to a non-VC-Enabled server
It only happens If I join friends from the home page, If I join friends from their profile, then I can join VC enabled servers.
edit: this is a bug, see here for more info: Unable to join friend through the home page
