Put families—not algorithms—in control of communication settings.

Family Control & Consent

Launch an all-in-one parental controls dashboard where guardians decide the exact communication permissions (e.g., text chat, voice chat, group DMs, team create) for every child account they manage.

Challenge

Parents currently have limited control over their child's communication settings.

Immediate impact

  • Respects the diversity of parenting styles and cultural norms.
  • Builds trust by giving adults clear transparency into Roblox safeguards.
  • Reduces liability by capturing explicit guardian consent for settings.

Implementation roadmap

Milestone

Permission Presets

Offer curated presets for communication features restrictions, plus advanced custom togglables for text, voice, trading, and DMs.

Milestone

Consent Receipts

Email and log every change with two-factor confirmations so Roblox has a defensible record of parental approval.

Milestone

Real-Time Alerts

Push notifications to guardians when unusual activity occurs, letting them lock settings instantly from mobile.

Expected outcomes

  • Guardians take ownership of settings with clear consent receipts.
  • Support requests about blocked chat fall as parents regain control.
  • Families talk openly about responsible communication limits instead of guessing.

Resources needed

  • Parent verification flow already used for spending limits.
  • Guardian dashboard to view and manage their child's communication settings.
