Roblox Voice Chat: How It Works and the Risks
Roblox offers an optional voice chat feature in supported experiences.

What Changed
Roblox offers an optional voice chat feature in supported experiences. It is off by default and only available to users who have verified their age as 13 or over through Roblox's age-verification process. Voice chat means real-time spoken conversation with other players, who can be strangers and adults, and moderating live audio is inherently harder than moderating filtered text chat. Age verification also cannot guarantee who is actually speaking on either end of a conversation.
What to Review
- •Check your child's Roblox privacy settings together to see whether voice chat is enabled, and turn it off unless you are comfortable with it.
Parent Actions
- 1Agree clear rules: never share personal information, never move a conversation to another app, and always tell you if anyone makes them uncomfortable.
- 2For younger children, use Roblox's parental controls and Account Restrictions to limit chat and available experiences.
