Website Chat

Website chat is a feature where the user can talk with their friends on the Roblox website.

Web chat basics
When the user logs in into Roblox, there is a chat box located in the lower-right corner of the screen. The user must click this box to reveal the chat menu as seen in the image above. The user will have a list of their friends and groups. To start chatting, simply click on the desired person/group in their list. If the list is particularly long, the user can search it using the search box.

After clicking on who the user would like to talk to, a smaller box will pop up to the left of their chat list. The user can type a message into the "Send a Message" box. The user can hide or unhide a conversation by clicking on the title bar.

Group chat
Users can engage in a conversation together in a chat group. To do this, the user must click a button on the right side of the bar. This will open up a box that looks like the left-most image above. The user must click on the name of any users the user would like to include, and when at least one user has been selected, they must click the Create button. The user can invite up to five friends as maximum. The user can also give the chat group a name.

Parties
Parties were a feature where a group of users can follow each other into games. To create a party, the user must start a group conversation using the steps in the section above. After doing so, the user must click the green button with a controller to invite the members to participate. The party creator can then click the Find Game button to open up the page. Once a game has been selected, the creator can then start playing it at which point all party members will be teleported in as well. This feature was eventually removed in 2019 to "modernize the site".

Leaving a group
If a user is part of a group and would like to leave it, the user must click the gear icon at the top of the conversation box and then click the Leave Chat Group button at the bottom of the menu.

Trivia

 * Around mid-2018, Roblox changed the name from "Chat & Party" to just "Chat" for an unknown reason.
