Description

TextChannelWindow is a GuiObject that renders in-experience text chat messages from a linked TextChannel. Place it under a ScreenGui or other LayerCollector descendant to display chat in a custom location and layout.

Set Target to a TextChannel to choose which channel's messages the window shows. The window registers itself with TextChatService when added to the data model.

Accepted children: UICorner, UIAspectRatioConstraint, UISizeConstraint, and scripts (LocalScript, Script, ModuleScript); other child types are rejected.

Target

TypeDefault
TextChannel

A reference to the TextChannel whose messages this window renders. When set, the window shows messages from the specified channel. Setting this property to nil disconnects the window from any channel so it displays no messages.

The default value is nil (no channel linked).
