How to Get Voice Chat in Roblox (2026): Age Check, Requirements and Settings

To get voice chat in Roblox, you need to be at least 13 and complete an age check, either by verifying a government ID or with Facial Age Estimation. After that, turn voice on in a game's settings or tap the headphone icon in any game that supports it. Voice chat is off by default, and phone verification no longer counts. Here's the full process and what to do if it doesn't appear.

How do you turn on voice chat in Roblox?

1. Make sure your account is 13 or older.
2. Complete an age check: go to Settings › Account Info and verify with a government photo ID, or use Facial Age Estimation.
3. Join a game that supports voice chat.
4. Click the headphone icon to connect to voice, or turn on the Voice Chat toggle in the in-game settings.
5. Mute or unmute your microphone from the game or your device whenever you like.

On PlayStation, connect to voice from the in-experience settings.

What is the Roblox age check?

An age check confirms your age so Roblox can put you in the right age group. You can do it two ways:

• Facial Age Estimation: Roblox estimates your age from a short video selfie and deletes the images after processing. In some regions, parental approval is needed.
• ID verification: a government-issued photo ID such as a driving licence or passport. Only available if you're 13 or over.

You also need an age check to use text chat, chat without filters with Trusted Friends, play 16+ and 18+ games, and more.

Who can you talk to on Roblox voice chat?

Roblox puts players into age groups (for teens and adults: 13–15, 16–17 and 18+), and you chat with people in similar age groups, plus your Trusted Friends. That's why you won't hear everyone in a server.

Why can't I see voice chat in Roblox?

• You haven't finished an age check. Phone verification alone isn't enough.
• The game doesn't support voice. The headphone icon only appears in games that use it.
• Your region isn't supported. Voice, and some verification methods, aren't available everywhere.
• Your age group is under 13. Voice chat is only for 13+.

Is Roblox voice chat safe?

Roblox's Terms of Use and Community Standards apply to voice too, and players who break the rules can be removed from voice chat or face further moderation. Parents can manage chat settings for younger players through Settings › Privacy & content restrictions.
