It’s not! You can use the “ChatMain” module (if you use the legacy chat system) and copy it’s functions like “ToggleVisibility”, “GetMessageCount” and ect to create your own button.

sadly isn’t the case with the current chat. would be nice to see some sort of TextChatService:ToggleChat(enabled) API

Yeah. Jailbreak just switched to the new system and instead of toggling off the chat they hide the ChatWindowConfiguration.

You can use StarterGui:SetCore("ChatActive", bool) to open/close the chat, and similarly, StarterGui:GetCore("ChatActive") to get whether the chat is open or not.

It seems as though, right now, I can only disable the UI entirely by disabling the beta feature. (CoreGuiType.All isn’t getting rid of the UI shown by the OP.)

It’s quite the annoyance:

I’ll disable the beta feature for now, but before taking it out of beta, the disabling CoreGui should be respected.

Can I use this to open the chat if they are closed

script.Parent.Mousebutton1Click:connect(function()
  Startergui:SetCore("chatactive", true)
  -- can it to toggle
  else
    Startergui:SetCore("chatactive", false)
  end)

Can it not on the new chatservice with the new you can customize the bubble

I don’t think it was necessary for the chat button to be in with the grouped buttons in top left. It should’ve stayed where it was.

Is it possible to move the chat button out of the top left group? It goes from 1 click to 3 click to open/close chat as having the group open is kind of annoying

I didn’t know this, thanks! I was able to use the new chat system for my custom chat button now!

Hi,
We have encountered a bug when the beta is enabled, it would happen specifically in our game Trenches (and our testing / development place)
It took us a few days to realize that it was this beta causing it, whenever we playtest the game in studio it would freeze after the roblox loading screen and show us this:

we found no other reports of this, and it doesnt happen in any other experience that we tried to go in (and reuploading the experience to a different place worked as well)
we are worried that this bug will go unnoticed and will prevent us from working or even players from playing when the feature is fully released
