For the longest time, voice chat has been an important part of video games. For instance, voice chat comes in handy when defending a friend from enemy fire or teasing an opponent you killed. Roblox, like any other platform, could benefit from the wonders of voice chat. However, users must be 13 years old and provide proof of age with a government-issued ID or other supported documents to enable voice chat on Roblox. Voice chat is not available to those under the age of 18 or those who do not have a valid identity verification document. The question is, how do you get this all sorted out?
Fortunately, we’ve done the heavy lifting for you, so continue reading if you are over the age of 13 and have the necessary documents to enable Roblox’s voice chat feature.
Roblox Voice Chat Requirements
Because voice chat is not yet available to everyone (and may not be in the future), you must meet certain requirements. Before you continue, make sure to check off all of the following items:
#1. Roblox requires age verification.
Roblox takes content restrictions very seriously. To prevent abuse, the voice chat feature is currently locked behind an age restriction. As a result, to use voice chat, you must be at least 13 years old.
#2. Phone number and email address verification
While it is not strictly necessary to verify your phone number and email address before using voice chat, we recommend doing so as a precaution. To confirm them, navigate to your account settings by clicking the Cog -> Settings button on your desktop. The Add/ Verify buttons are located next to the Phone Number and Email Address in Account Info. To finish the process, follow the on-screen instructions.
#3. A functional microphone
While it goes without saying, you will need a working microphone to use the Roblox voice chat feature properly. It could be a headset microphone or the built-in microphone on your system. Before continuing, make sure you have that.
How to Verify Your Age on Roblox
Roblox’s voice chat feature is only available to age-verified accounts, so verify your age if you haven’t already. While you can verify your age using either your cell phone or a laptop, the process requires you to scan a government-issued ID or other supported documents with your cell phone, so you’ll need one.
Follow these steps to verify your age using your cell phone or laptop:
- Log in to the Roblox website.
- Select Settings by clicking the cog icon in the top-right corner.
- Navigate to Roblox Settings. Navigate to the Account Info tab on the Roblox website, then click Verify My Age. (Select Account Info from the dropdown menu on a cell phone.)
- In Roblox’s Settings, select the Verify My Age option.
- Roblox may prompt you to verify your email if you haven’t already.
- Scan the QR code in the Identity Verification window with your phone’s camera app. You do not need to scan the QR code when verifying your age directly from your phone.
- To begin verification, tap Begin verifying and grant camera permissions.
- Take photos of the front and back of your ID.
- Then, put your best face forward and take a selfie.
Check the Identity Verification window on your laptop after Roblox has analyzed your documents to see if your age has been verified. If Roblox is unable to verify your age, please try again later.
Is Voice Chat Possible in Roblox?
Roblox voice chat allows you to communicate with other players who are nearby while playing.
While Roblox’s spatial voice chat has obvious benefits, such as improving overall player experience, it also has drawbacks. Here are some of its advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of Roblox Voice Chat
- Improved communication – Spatial voice chat is much faster and easier to use. The previous method of typing in-game was slow, especially in fast-paced Roblox games like Arsenal.
- Improved immersion – Players can hold real-time conversations that aid in coordination without interfering with gameplay.
- It has a handy mute button – if you think some players are using inappropriate language, you can mute them while playing.
Disadvantages of Roblox Voice Chat
- Lack of moderation – Due to the large number of users on the platform, it is difficult to control what they say in real time.
- Security concerns – Due to the large number of players who use the platform on a daily basis, there is a high possibility of interacting with scammers.
- Some users dislike the constant chatter – Some users claim that background noise keeps them from having successful campaigns in the game.

How to Use Roblox Voice Chat
Unfortunately, voice chat in Roblox is not available for all experiences. This is because adding voice chat support is the responsibility of the game’s developer rather than Roblox. This means that only a few games will support this feature. You may or may not be able to use voice chat, depending on them.
- A quick way to find out if your chosen game supports voice chat is to visit its Roblox page. Scroll down until you see Voice Enabled with a Yes or No label next to it.
If you can’t find that, another telltale sign of voice chat support in Roblox games is the Yellow “Beta” button that appears at the top left of the game when you open it. If you see this button, it means that the Roblox experience supports both text and voice chat.
- When you click the “Beta” button, a short “terms of service” pop-up will appear, reminding you that your audio is being recorded. However, to use the voice chat feature, ensure your microphone is connected to your PC.
- Afterward, go to the game’s settings and select the microphone from the “Input Devices” tab. After that, you can easily enable/disable your voice-in-game by clicking on the mic bubble that appears while playing.
A Few Roblox Games That Support Voice Chat
Roblox has not published an official list of games that support voice chat on the platform. As previously stated, it is dependent on developers and thus may take some time. Until then, you can use the methods described above to determine whether the game supports voice chat and enable it. In addition, to assist you on your journey, here are 10 Roblox games I enjoy that support Roblox voice chat.
- Flee the Facility
- Piggy
- Murder Mystery 2
- Royalloween
- Open Mic Night
- Mic Up
- Outlaster
- Natural Disaster Survival
- Epic Rap Battles
- Flex Your Account Age
How to Get Roblox Voice Chat When You’re Under 13
Roblox’s voice chat feature has a minimum age of 13 years. It shields the platform’s younger users from inappropriate voice chat content.
This does not preclude you from using Roblox voice chat. If you are under the age of 13, here are some alternative ways to access spatial voice chat.
- You can make an official request by contacting Roblox support. Fill out the support form with the type of assistance “Data Privacy Requests” and “Right of Access (ROA).” Following that, describe the nature of your problem and request a voice chat feature on your account.
- You can also create a new Roblox account with the information of a consenting family member over the age of 13.
The obvious advantage of doing this is that you can avoid Roblox’s age restriction even if you are under the age of 13. The disadvantage of using these methods is that you risk losing access to voice chat or your entire account.
Why Am I Unable To Enable Voice Chat on Roblox?
If you are unable to activate voice chat in your Roblox account, you may be experiencing one of the following issues:
- There is an issue with your ID verification.
- You could be using an account with a birth date that is less than 13 years old.
- Your account may not have received the beta voice chat feature.
- You could have broken Roblox’s chat policy and been blocked as a result.
Any of these issues may appear to be a nuisance to your Roblox experience, but they do not have to be. The best way to troubleshoot these issues is to contact Roblox support and thoroughly describe your problem.
When dealing with support, however, you should exercise caution. You may be able to access voice chat for a short period of time, but as soon as support detects any false or misleading information on your support form, they will remove you from voice chat.
Roblox chat with voice rules states that it has the ability to remove a user from voice chat or even the Roblox game at any time without notifying the user.
Will Roblox spy on me using my voice data?
Roblox only uses your recordings for safety and moderation purposes, as stated on the Roblox Voice Terms page. This means that your voice will be monitored, but only to ensure that you do not violate any community guidelines or become a victim of abuse. Don’t be concerned about your voice model being used for illegal purposes.
If I enable voice chat, will Roblox sell my data?
Roblox claims it never sells or shares voice recordings with third parties. As a result, your voice data should be safe from marketers. However, if you’re still unsure, it’s best to turn off voice chat just to be safe.
How do I report a player who is abusing his or her voice?
Fortunately, Roblox has made it simple to report any player who is abusing you or another player via voice chat. Simply go to the Player tab and select the player you want to report.
Conclusion
I hope you were successful in enabling voice chat on Roblox. Grab some friends and scream together over voice chat now that you know how to communicate on the platform.
