Here is a comprehensive article on how to enable Roblox Voice Chat for your PS5:
🎤 How to Turn On Voice Chat in Roblox on PS5
Roblox Voice Chat (often called Spatial Voice) is a fantastic feature that lets you communicate naturally with other players in supporting experiences. While you play on your PlayStation 5, the crucial steps to activate this feature must be done on another device.
Follow this step-by-step guide to enable Voice Chat on your Roblox account for use on your PS5.
📝 Prerequisites for Voice Chat
- Before you begin, ensure your Roblox account meets the following requirements:
- Age Requirement: Your account must be registered as 13 years old or older.\
- Verification: You must verify your age or phone number on your Roblox account.
- Phone Number Verification is the most common way to unlock the setting.
- ID or Facial Age Verification can also be used.
- Microphone: You must have a working microphone (like the one built into the DualSense controller or a connected headset).
Step 1: Verify Your Account (Mobile/PC Required)
- You cannot complete the verification on the PS5. You must use the Roblox website or the Roblox mobile/desktop app to do this part.
- Log in to your Roblox account on the website or app.
- Go to Settings (Gear icon, usually in the top-right or under the "More" section on mobile).
- Navigate to Account Info or Privacy & Content Restrictions.
- Look for an option to Verify My Age or Verify Phone Number.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the verification process.
- Step 2: Enable Voice Chat in Privacy Settings (Mobile/PC Required)
- Once your account is verified, the Voice Chat toggle will appear in your settings.
- Stay in the Settings menu on the Roblox website or app.
- Go to Privacy & Content Restrictions
- Look for the Communication section.
- Under Voice Chat, you should see the “Enable Microphone” selector.
Toggle this setting to ON. The switch will typically turn blue or green to indicate it is active.
❗ Important Note: If you do not see the Voice Chat setting after verification, the feature may not be available in your region. Check the official Roblox support pages for regional availability.
Step 3: Check PS5 Controller and Roblox App Settings
Now you can switch back to your PlayStation 5 console.
🎮 PS5 Controller Mic Check
Ensure your DualSense controller's microphone is not muted.
Press the PlayStation button on your controller to open the Control Center.
Look for the Mic icon. If the light on your controller's mute button is orange, press it to unmute your microphone.
⚙️ Roblox PS5 Settings Check
It's a good idea to ensure the in-game settings are also configured correctly.
Launch Roblox on your PS5.
Go to the More menu (the three dots icon) on the right side of the main screen.
Go to Settings.
Ensure that Cross-Platform Play is enabled. This setting helps ensure communication with players on all platforms.
Step 4: Join a Voice-Enabled Experience
Voice Chat only works in specific Roblox experiences that have the feature enabled by the developer.
Search for or join an experience that supports Voice Chat (you can usually check the game's description page for a "Voice Chat Supported" indicator).
Once you join a supported game, you may see a notification asking for your consent to record your voice for safety and moderation—you must agree to this to use the feature.
If other players are speaking, a small speaker icon should appear above their avatar's head.
Your voice chat should now be active! You can mute your in-game microphone by clicking the microphone icon that appears on your screen when you are in a voice-enabled experience, or by pressing the mute button on your DualSense controller.
