Voice chat has been an important part of video games for the longest time. Whether you are trying to defend a friend against enemy fire or teasing an opponent you killed, voice chat comes in handy. Like any other platform, Roblox is one that could use the wonders of voice chat. And thankfully, the developer listened to user feedback and rolled out Spatial Voice (aka voice chat) to Roblox. If you are part of the users who want to enable the voice chat feature, we have done the heavy lifting for you. Keep reading as I show you how to enable and use voice chat on Roblox through this dedicated guide.
While the steps to enable voice chat on Roblox are easy, you will need to fulfill a few requirements before we begin. But if you already know what those are, use the table below to skip to the process itself.

Requirements to Use Voice Chat on Roblox
Since voice chat is not a feature rolled out for everyone (and might not be, even in the future), you need to pass certain criteria. Make sure you check off all the things listed below before proceeding:
Roblox takes appropriate content restrictions seriously. To make sure the voice chat feature is not misused, it’s currently locked behind an age restriction. As such, you will need to prove you are 13 years old or above to use voice chat. To learn how to do that, follow our dedicated guide on how to verify age on Roblox before going any further.
While not fully necessary to use voice chat, we suggest verifying your phone number and email address as a precautionary step. To verify them both, head to your accounts settings by clicking on the Cog -> Settings on your desktop. Under Account Info, you will see the Add/ Verify buttons next to the Phone Number and Email Address. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
3. A Working Microphone
While it goes without saying, you will need a working microphone to make sure you can properly use the voice chat feature on Roblox. It can either be a headset microphone or even your system’s built-in one. Make sure you have that before proceeding further.
If you have fulfilled all the above requirements, voice chat should now be available on Roblox. In case it isn’t, you can wait for some time to see if the feature shows up in the future. With that said, let’s learn how to check and enable voice chat on Roblox.
Then, move to the “Privacy” section from the left sidebar.
Under the Beta Features section in Privacy settings, find and turn on the toggle next to “Enable Voice Chat”. A pop-up box will now open up to confirm your choice.
You will now be asked to provide your consent to Roblox collecting your voice recording for analytics. Make sure you read all the options and click the “Enable” button.
And before you know it, voice chat will be enabled on your Roblox account. You can verify the same by looking for the green toggle or trying it out in a game!
And that’s how easy it is! Voice chat is now ready for use on your Roblox account. Make sure to be polite to everyone and report abuse if you hear it. Read on to learn how to use voice chat in a game.
Now, unfortunately, voice chat in Roblox is not out for every experience. That’s because adding voice chat support is onto the developer of the game rather than Roblox itself. This means a select number of games will support this feature. Depending on them, you might be able to use voice chat or not.
If you can’t seem to find that, another telltale indicator of voice chat support in Roblox games is the Yellow “Beta” button that appears at the top left when you open the game. If you see this button, it means that the particular Roblox experience supports text chat as well as voice chat.
Clicking on the “Beta” button will bring up small terms of service pop-up, reminding you that your audio is being recorded. However, to make sure you can use the voice chat feature, ensure that your microphone is connected to your PC.
Once done, hover over the game’s settings and choose the microphone from the “Input devices” tab. Once done, you can easily enable/ disable your voice-in game by clicking on the mic bubble that appears while you’re playing.
Few Games That Support Voice Chat
Roblox has not released a definitive list of games that officially support voice chat on the platform. As mentioned above, it’s dependent on developers, and hence, might take time.
