Would this idea of a system be against the Roblox Terms of Service?

Hello

I am currently working on a system that allows people in a Discord Server to switch voice channels. Basically, inside the game, it allows you to set a certain frequency in a radio, e.g. “123.4”. When you click that button, a discord bot then switches you between voice channels. I am currently up to the stage of making people switch between the voice channels (I’d say im about 70% complete of the sytem) and began to wonder whether this would be allowed on Roblox.

Just as a side note, only people who I actually script to link their roblox id to discord id can use the system, so I can assure only people over the age of 13 can use the system, as it would be invite-only. I am also planning to have this as an application only.

Like I asked before, would this be allowed?

Would you be actually using voice? You can use Text-to-Speech, as long as it is moderated. Voice Chat is not allowed however.
I got my info here, Is voice chat possible
Perhaps check that topic out.

It’s a Discord voice channel that is being used.

Yeah but still, it’s voice chat integrated. Even for 13+ users, I don’t think Roblox wants this.

#5

Just because you think they don’t want it, doesn’t mean it’s written in any ToS that it is breaking some field, my advise is read the ToS, and looking through the ToS, Community Rules, this isn’t breaking anything other than it can be abused to use vulgar language etc.
But also take into consideration of the third-party’s ToS, are you breaking any of that?

#6

I’ve already checked, it’s not breaking the Discord ToS. Bascially the main question is, am I allowed to integrate something with a third-party app.

#7

Yes, because it’s not breaking a specific rule, it’s breaking a globally applied rule, as long as you can conjoin that rule to be used in good faith of your application, there will be no issues

Perfect thanks. I’ll wait a while before doing a release/showcase of it, just to make sure. I don’t want to break any community guidelines or anything.

OK, any thing else that is needed, feel free to PM me

If integrating with third party apps isn’t within the boundaries of TOS, why would HttpService exist?

But what worries me is your asking people under 13 to link a Discord account. This could convince users who shouldn’t be on Discord to sign up. And this is what might be out of the legal boundaries of TOS.

Yeah, I’m already got the script with HttpService. It’s an application-only game, so I can pretty much assure that all people would be over the age of 13 anyways.
