[1222] Chatbox needs more options
complete
Laxy
In addition to the chatbox showing above the player's head, there should be more options.
Add more options to the chatbox so you can spawn the chatbox in front of you, right on your hands, or also make it grabbable so you can move around the text.
People usually look at your face and not above your head where your username is, so the current placement is not good.
There's also something necessary, to make people notice you, when you send a message you should make a little pop sound, so people are aware about that you just typed something.
Right now it's very easy to type and literally get ignored because no one will notice or see it, think about these features that i just said, please.

my issue is either chat box gets in the way and ends up in there head, or really to far out of the way and becomes just a pain to read what someone is saying at times.

I am trying to move my group over to VR chat. I also want new people to join. It is impossible to message people within the group. Therefore, people are joining, and I don’t know who they are, why they want to join my group, if they have read our rules. It states in my group profile that they need to join our Discord, but many don’t have it or ignore it. Even people in my own group are joining with different avatar names, and I have no idea who they are. I have run groups in many online worlds. It’s impossible to run a group where you can’t message the individual members. Please fix this. Also, the newest members should be listed at the top of the group members page so you don’t have to keep scrolling down to find them.

And people who have muted you should be able to see your message so you can be like: “You can unmute me now”

Update: We have two items in progress that relate to this post:
-A sound when text is sent to the chatbox is planned and in progress.
-Chatbox position: we're working on a prototype for a position slider for head -> feet range to see if that works to cover most of the issues with chatbox position, like covering smaller avatar's heads, etc.

Scout - VRChat Head of Quality Assurance: The one-size-fits-all won't work here. Way too often am I with a few friends, some have avatars that are too tall or have huge hats that hide the above-head textbox, but then other friends are laying down so the in-front textbox is in their legs.
The location of the textbox could really use a per-user override too. Unless you can make the textbox not be blocked by the avatar of the writer somehow.

If you ask me the current placement only makes sense when it's from a far. Like seeing someone message you when they can't get to you. So maybe we should consider a distance that it swaps to being over the head? Just an idea to chew on

I agree they should add a chat ping sound (option) So WE know to look above the player's head instead of their face when communicating.
Also add something what will let us know if a player can't see my chatbox, like if they can only see everyone's friend's chatbox or everyone's.
Also, add a filter option so we don't see the bad words?
(also I think there shouldn't be a spam cooldown lol)
Oh, and adding text to speech sounds cool lol.
Maybe add color fonts? Some people play with nametags off
so maybe add an option to enable yellow color font for friends on the chatbox since it's still visible when nametags are turned off.
