How to get voice chat on Roblox if you are under 13

Unfortunately, if you are under 13, you won’t be able to access this feature. Roblox enforces this age restriction to ensure that its communication tools are used safely and we don’t recommend bypassing this limit. However, if you want to learn for general curiosity, here is a workaround for you!

You can try verifying your account without an ID and bypass the age limit. You can follow the mentioned steps above. However, as mentioned, we don’t advocate these kinds of activities & respect Roblox’s rules.

How to use voice chat in Roblox 

Once voice chat is enabled, you can join any Roblox experience that supports it. You’ll know voice chat is available if you see a microphone icon under the Communication field in the game’s description.

Players with voice chat enabled will have a speaker icon next to their username, both in the in-game menu and above their avatar’s head.

Is Roblox voice chat not working?

If you meet all the criteria but still don’t see the option for voice chat, it could be because Roblox is gradually rolling out the feature.

Be patient, as you’ll be added to the beta test once your account is approved for the feature. Also, you can contact Roblox support.

Roblox voice chat settings

Roblox provides tools to manage your voice chat experience, including options to mute or block users.

  • Muting: To mute someone, click on the speaker icon next to their username or over their avatar’s head. Muting only applies to voice chat, and it lasts for the current game session.
  • Blocking: To prevent a player from chatting with you via voice or text, block them by accessing their profile or using the in-game settings.
  • Reporting abuse: If someone is violating the Terms of Use or Community Standards, report them by using the Report Abuse feature. You can specify that the abuse happened in voice chat.

Roblox voice chat bans explained

Roblox voice chat bans are penalties imposed on players who violate the rules or community guidelines while using Roblox's voice chat feature. Voice chat allows players to communicate with others in real time by speaking through their microphones during gameplay. However, like all forms of communication on Roblox, voice chat comes with a set of rules designed to maintain a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for users, especially considering that many Roblox players are children or young teenagers.

Roblox voice chat ban reasons

Voice chat bans are typically issued for the following behaviors:

  • Harassment or Bullying: Using voice chat to insult, threaten, or harass other players.
  • Inappropriate Content: Speaking in a way that includes swearing, hate speech, or explicit language.
  • Disruptive Behavior: Making loud noises, spamming the microphone, or intentionally disturbing other players with unwanted noise.
  • Violating Roblox Community Guidelines: Any conduct that goes against Roblox's broader rules, such as cheating, exploiting, or violating the platform's terms of service.

Am I voice chat banned in Roblox?

To check if you are banned from voice chat in Roblox, start by logging into your account. Then, click the gear icon in the top-right corner to access your account settings. In the settings menu, go to the Privacy tab, where you will find the Voice Chat section. If you are eligible for voice chat, you'll see an option to enable or disable it. If this section is unavailable or indicates that voice chat is disabled, it may mean that you've been banned from using the feature. In such cases, you can contact Roblox support for clarification or to appeal the ban.

How long does Roblox voice chat ban last?

Bans can be temporary or permanent. Temporary bans usually last from a few hours to a few days, depending on the severity of the violation. Permanent bans can occur in cases of repeated offenses or serious violations, preventing a player from using voice chat indefinitely.

According to Roblox Dev Forum, to check how long you have been banned from voice chat in Roblox, follow these steps:

  • Click on the link: https://voice.roblox.com/v1/settings. This will take you to your Roblox voice chat settings page.
  • On the settings page, you will see some details related to your account's voice chat status. Look for a specific set of numbers associated with your ban.

  • These numbers represent the timestamp of when your ban was applied. Copy these numbers (they should look like a string of digits).
  • Go to unixtimestamp.com, a Unix time stamp converter. Paste the copied numbers into the converter to convert them into a readable date and time format.
  • The converted timestamp will show the exact time when your ban was imposed. You can then calculate the duration of the ban based on this information. For example, if the ban started 3 days ago, it would indicate a 3-day ban.

Appealing a Roblox Voice Chat ban
