This plugin is a modernized implementation of the now deprecated Team Chat intended to revive and improve upon it with various custom features such as typing indicators, markdown support, notifications with sound, attachments (images, audio, and instances), group chats, a ton of customizability in the settings, and everything previously in the original Team Chat, along with its layout.

I’ll try to post updates here every now and then when there is an update and I get into updating this frequently (this may pause due to me working on other projects). If you want to see our planned updates, view the last section below.
Updates in Queue
Ability to react to messages.
Implement chat bubbles above players while chatting in the viewport.
Make it so that the plugin doesn’t proceed to operate in playtests (to prevent warnings in the console).
Added support for automatic private chat tabs. This means that when you join the plugin on the latest build and someone joins your session, you will be able to communicate with that person directly instead of everyone at once.
Lol I’m sorry! I didn’t even know he had an idea like this. I just made this one because there’s so little on the market right now sadly. Just making something to create a new market of plugins!
Your messages are now going to be filtered not by the Roblox filter because I couldn’t really add it successfully. So I developed my own filter that would detect swear words, even if you tried to bypass it. Sorry I have to add this so I don’t get this thing moderated by Roblox.
This looks great! I don’t have time to try it, but it looks better than the old, official one.
How long did it take you to make this?
How do the chat messages send?
It has been like a month since we knew Team Chat would be removed, so I’m glad someone made something.
I will continue my recreation attempt, which has a different goal: mimic the Team Chat instead of improving it.
I will also continue my standard attempt, which will kind of be an improvement, but it will not be a competitor. You might find out later!
It took me only two days to fully get it working with public chatting. January 31st - February 2nd. And they send almost instantly! Just type something in, it goes through my custom filtering system, and there! Instantly sent.
Also trust me, I tried to add the Roblox filter, I literally could not. People had the same issue with plugins, so I just made my own like someone suggested to someone else when they had the same issue. Not to worry, it does have bypass detection!
Quite sure it is for the same reason you can’t just make a custom chat system and a custom filter in-experience, but correct me if I’m wrong. I want plugins like this so I’m not hating, just like, if it gets taken down don’t be surprised.
It gets to other people via ServerStorage (not ReplicatedStorage because exploiters). It stores chat logs and chat tabs there. It detects any new chat logs, and updates the UI per new string instances. I’m thinking of making a different system in the near future, but not right now. And I really hope a custom filter isn’t against the TOS lol. Otherwise I’d call this RIGGED.
It updates game assets. I could add a datastore, but once again, that’s for later due to different systems that can be made for the future. Most likely cause for the script injection request I assume! Not everyone wants to have a datastore.
This method of filtering chat is most definitely against TOS since it’s just a table with words you cannot say.
No, you’re allowed to make a custom chat system, but not a custom chat filter. I said that poorly, I meant you cannot create a custom chat system AND a custom chat filter.
Well I’m not too sure what I’m supposed to do here. I’m pretty confused why you can’t use a custom chat system, and a custom filtering system. I cannot add the Roblox filter because plugin issues.
