There have long been demands for a voice chat feature to be added to Roblox, but with demands come concerns too. Roblox is largely played by children as well as by adults, so adding voice chat comes with the topic of who will be speaking to whom. Here, we’ll show you how to enable voice chat in the game as well as the precautions surrounding its use.
Enabling Voice Chat in Roblox
Called “Spatial Voice”, Roblox has finally added a way for players to communicate with each other besides using the text feature. The beta feature was originally released in September, but it is now live for everyone to use.
Well, everyone that actually can use the voice chat feature. Adding the voice chat feature in Roblox doesn’t just come with pressing a button. First, you must meet the age requirement. You have to have your age verified as 13-years-old or older.
Now, if you’re past that, you can follow these quick and easy steps:
- Click the gear icon in the top right corner for “Account Settings”
- Select the “Privacy Tab”
- Find “Spatial Voice” and toggle it on
Once that toggle goes from gray to green, you know that the voice chat feature has successfully been enabled. By adding voice chat in Roblox, you can have an easier time keeping in touch with friends and other players. This is done with compatible experiences. So, once enabled, you must find and join up with the right experience to use the feature such as with the popular Squid Game run.
Remember that you can click on the microphone icon above a player’s head to mute them in that current game, and you can always report others or block them as per usual.
Age Verification Process in Roblox
As stated before, the only way to turn on the voice chat feature in Roblox is by verifying your age. If you meet the minimum age requirement of 13, then you can use the feature. It’s a way to keep younger children safe and free from mingling with teens and adults they don’t know.
With a government-issued photo ID, you can begin the process of verifying your age. In the Settings under your Account Info, you’ll find the process to verify your age underneath the “Birthday” section. A pop-up will show with a QR code that you can scan to go to the website roblox.com/verify.
Follow instructions from there which include allowing camera access and scanning your ID so Roblox can verify your identity. All of this is in the effort of keeping things safe so that everyone who can enjoy adding the Roblox voice chat feature can do so in a secure and fun way to play with friends like in the All Star Tower Defense.
