Making the most of voice chat
Tips
Voice chat is the fastest way to build a real conversation with someone, but Neighbors is designed so you can enjoy it with text only if you prefer.
- Voice chat is strongly recommended by the game but is never required — text chat is a complete alternative.
- If nobody seems to be around, try moving to a different lobby area to find a new group.
- If your voice chat is not working, check both Roblox's microphone permission and your operating system's mic settings.
