The Voice Chat overlay on the character should not be visible if EnableDefaultVoice is disabled

In all Roblox experiences with voice chat enabled, the Roblox Voice Chat overlay is visible on top of the character even if EnableDefaultVoice is disabled in VoiceChatService, causing a clunky user experience.

In our experience SCP: Roleplay, we use EnableDefaultVoice to disable voice chat for specific places, as is suggested in the documentation. However, the overlay remains active, which is an even bigger problem in our experience as it relies on a custom camera system to enhance the player experience. Not only, it also hides game critical information to the player in situations such as combat by taking up space in the screen.

The overlay should not be visible in these places where EnableDefaultVoice is disabled.

We’ll look into and address this. Thanks for bringing this up.

This is still an issue but rather now also occurs in the new CoreGui too.

EnableDefaultVoice = false

Any word or status on this? I find myself having my cursor blocked out by this voice chat bubble every time I play since our experience uses a custom camera system.

A way to disable the overlay voice bubble would be extremely useful and definitely increase the relevance of voice chat in any type of PVP game.

To be honest… the icon seems to have an always on top feature we have no control over, so it can actually block chat bubbles, ui, etc.

We should be provided with more customisation to better configure the microphone icon & camera icon above your head. Perhaps the Y position, transparency, colour, always on top, etc.

Although not a big thing, albeit, this would yet greatly improve a annoying issue.

This would be amazing, there‘s currently an issue where you can interact with the voice and camera button while in a different GUI which still shows above the chat bubble.

This still happening, more than a year later.

Any news on when this could be fixed?

With the new unibar, the voice chat overlay is never visible on the local player’s character anymore. Are you still experiencing this issue?

Nope, it’s good now since it was changed to not work as a chat bubble!
