Do you want everyone in the game to see the updated GUI, or just the player themself?

In that case, you would want a Script (server-side) parented to the same SurfaceGui as the TextLabel. The code would be something like:

local label = script.Parent.Label --change to your label

for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
        label.Text = player.Name.." chatted message: "..message
    end)
end

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other issues.

am I correct in thinking you only want one player’s messages to show? If so, then it might look like:

local label = script.Parent.TextLabel --change to your label
local playersToDisplay = {} --add usernames here
local players = {}

local function updatePlayers()
    local playersTable = {}
    for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        table.insert(players, player)
    end
    return playersTable
end

local function displayMessage()
    for _, player in pairs(players) do
        player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
            if table.find(playersToDisplay, player.Name) then
                label.Text = player.Name.." chatted message: "..message
            end
        end)
    end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
    players = updatePlayers()
end

This might not be the most efficient way of doing it, but I didn’t want to risk it because I’m not sure if TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage works server-side. I hope this helps!
