What Is Roblox Voice Chat?

Roblox voice chat (VC) allows players aged 13 and above to communicate using their microphones. It’s part of Roblox’s social features, alongside Experience chat and Party chat. If you’ve searched how to get voice chat on Roblox, how to enable voice chat, or how to turn on mic on Roblox, you’re in the right place.

What You Need Before Enabling Voice Chat

Roblox requires three things:

1. You must be 13 or older

Accounts under 13 cannot use voice chat, even with parental approval.

2. You must verify your age with a government-issued ID

Accepted forms usually include:

  • Passport
  • Driver’s license
  • School ID (varies by country)

3. Your device must allow microphone access

You need to enable mic permissions on:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • iOS
  • Android
  • Xbox

If any of these are missing, voice chat will not appear.

How to Verify Your Age on Roblox (Required for Voice Chat)

  1. Open Roblox.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Open Account Info.
  4. Tap Verify My Age.
  5. Scan the QR code with your phone.
  6. Upload a picture of your ID.
  7. Take a selfie for liveness verification.
  8. Wait for confirmation (usually a few minutes).
