While the steps to enable voice chat on Roblox are simple, there are a few requirements you need to meet before we begin. But if you already know what that is, use the table below to jump to the process itself.
Requirements for using voice chat on Roblox
Since voice chat isn’t a feature that’s rolling out to everyone (and may not be in the future), you’ll need to meet certain criteria. Make sure you check all of the items below before proceeding:
1. You must be age verified on Roblox
Roblox takes content restrictions seriously. To ensure the voice chat feature is not abused, it is currently locked behind an age restriction. Therefore, you must prove that you are at least 13 years old to use voice chat. To learn how to do this, follow our dedicated guide How to verify age on Roblox before you go any further.
2. Verified Phone Number and Email ID
While not strictly necessary to use voice chat, we recommend verifying your phone number and email address as a precaution. To check both, go to your account settings by clicking the gear -> settings on your desktop. Under Account Information you will see the Add/Confirm Buttons next to the phone number and email address. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
3. A working microphone
It goes without saying that you need a working microphone to ensure you can properly use Roblox’s voice chat feature. It can be either a headset microphone or even the microphone built into your system. Make sure you have this before proceeding.

1. An easy way to confirm whether or not the game you have chosen has voice chat support is to simply go to the Roblox listing. Scroll down and you will see voice activated with a yes or no label underneath.
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 in the top left when you open the game. If you see this button, it means that the particular Roblox experience supports both text chat and voice chat.
2. When you click the “Beta” button, a small Terms of Service pop-up will appear, reminding you that your audio is being recorded. However, to ensure you can use the voice chat feature, make sure your microphone is connected to your PC.
3. When you are done, hover over the game settings and select the microphone from the “input devices” tab. Once you’re done, you can easily enable/disable your voice-in game by clicking on the microphone bubble that appears during gameplay.
