How to Get Voice Chat on Roblox
Getting voice chat on Roblox requires a few simple steps. First, you need to verify your age (13+) using a government-issued ID. Then, you'll need to enable the feature in your settings and make sure your microphone is properly set up. We'll walk you through each step in detail below.
Roblox Voice Chat (also known as Spatial Voice) is a feature that allows users to talk to each other using microphones while playing games. Unlike text chat, voice chat creates a more immersive experience where you can hear other players based on how close they are to you in the game.
Voice chat is not available to all users automatically. To use this feature, you need to:
- Be at least 13 years old
- Verify your age with an ID
- Have a compatible device with a microphone
- Play a game that has voice chat enabled

Talking to Others
In most games, voice chat is proximity-based. This means you can only hear players who are near your character in the game. The closer they are, the louder their voice will be.
Adjusting Voice Settings
You can adjust voice chat settings in-game. Look for the voice chat icon (usually a microphone) in the game's interface. From there, you can mute yourself, adjust volume, or mute other players.
