This week, I spent my time crafting a plugin to show you the live chat of a YouTube livestream. Its main use would be to allow you to see the chat of your development streams without having to go to OBS or the livestream itself! Since Roblox Studio doesn’t filter messages, live chat messages are not officially filtered. That’s why this is not actually a resource yet. For now, I’m asking for feedback!
Would something like this be allowed publicly? Would you even use it? And most importantly, would this encourage developers to make livestreams of their hard work?
This is the Live Chat. Each message has some options!
Delete will hide the message locally. And Block will hide all this author’s messages for this studio session.
Enabling Safe Chat will apply a basic swear filter to all messages, since Roblox Studio doesn’t filter anything. It’s not perfect, you’d have to block people that swear past your liking.
You can also apply a basic flood filter, which hides messages based on how long the words are compared to the message’s length.
I’m not sure you understand… I only generated a handful of lines of code to see how the API is used. I wrote a thousand lines of code on top of that to make the full plugin!
I thought AI was made to help users. And you’re discouraging a user from using a tool that has been provided and that is also powerful? Hmm… I doubt you have never used AI for anything in your life.
No, I personally use AI a lot but not for programming or learning purposes, I find AI to be fine but I see that most of the time it’s just a headache and you can learn better by using the sources the AI itself uses, you just need to find them. I just find AI to not be that helpful when you are making something.
I can give many examples of this but it could sometimes help but not always, like 1 in 100 times it’s useful, else just nuisance.
Well why not use a tool that has been provided to you to use. I see nothing wrong with learning with AI or with any other resources but if AI makes the work more simple then why not use it.
Isn’t it all local, and using your stream key? I’m pretty sure only the person using it can see it if they enter the stream key, still not sure if its allowed. Are you allowed to share privately or on itch?
Yes. The developer must create and enter a YouTube Data v3 API key and select a livestream. They’re most definitely aware of what chat they’d be showing themselves inside of Roblox. AI says that “it’s against the rules to not filter text for Plugins”, then follows by saying “you can’t currently filter text for Plugins”… so…
