Currently if you send a message to someone, they get a notification and they can either respond or delete. I'd like there to be a list of all the messages between you and that person, just like an SMS app on a phone. It would include both the sender's and receiver's messages with a way to scroll through the past history of messages. With the new system, I'd like to merge some of the other suggestions about messaging such as: Predictive text to type words faster, sending things such as a holotar recording, voice message, the ability to call another person online, and the ability to text and recieve text on Rec.Net. Also with the calling feature, it would be nice if it lowered all of the sounds except the call, and put a nice badge above/next to you letting others know you are in a call.
Video chat and calls would be a great feature in rec room in my opinion, and it’d probably be easier than using the keyboard in be. The keyboard should be revamped too while we’re on that.
video calling with voice with other people in other rooms and the same room that would be lit
We could send each other dictated messages, holotars, samplers, use walkie talkies, etc. Typing on the keyboard is awful.
Me and my friends have an idea that will make Rec Room more fun. We really wish there were phones in the game. They replace your watch but if you stretch out your phone and it turns into a tablet. It has the same abilities as the watch but you can call other players that are in other rooms. Me and my friends would be really happy and Rec Room would fell like home with this update.
Can we get phones to text and call friends while in different rooms? That would be SO cool.
We can already text...but calling would be nice.
why waste time on a new texture and converting a watch skin to a holdable, phone skin when they can make a new quest or summit better :/
So, you just want to be able to call people in Rec Room.
In real life video chat is useful because you are in different places and really far from each other. In Recroom, you are in a virtual world and just need to click on a button to change the room and join your mate it take a second. What is the point of having a video chat in the virtual world when you can be face to face at any moment?
@Bigbanana: Just cause we could.
Don't ever use that word again.
I think it would be pretty cool to call friends on your watch no matter what room they’re in and talk to them.
And can we also be able to deleted a message if we for example send it to the wrong Person
I want phones
We already have the watch, what more would the phone add?
Id like the messege notification to be smaller and maybe up to the right so that its not buzzing in my face durring pvp
Apparently this needs to be merged with: https://recroom.canny.io/feature-requests/p/one-on-one-calls-via-watch-like-a-smart-watch
We posted on the same day
I would love holotar messeges
Also to work this in, it would be nice if they simplified the messager format to be more like sms so it's easyer to have long chains with people and the abilty to look back at previous messeges
It would be nice to have a conversation based system, like most instant messaging systems as sometimes you need the details of a previous message to continue a conversation.
@Dave: Exactly what I'm trying to convey with this request. I am forgetful myself, and need to remind myself what the previous conversation was about to continue.
@Harrison: currently the mixed notification system is hard to use and mines spammed beyond return
This would be amazing, although it would kinda remove the purpose for the watch, maybe the watch should turn into a phone?
@Micheal Myers: Thats true, but I mean a kind of rework type of the camera, like a face time kinda thing
