BloxChat provides extensive configuration options to personalize your experience. Access all settings by clicking the settings icon in the application menu.

​
Connection Settings

Configure how BloxChat connects to the backend API server.

​
API Server URL

The API Server URL determines which backend BloxChat connects to for authentication and chat services.
Default URL: https://bloxchat.logix.lolThis is the official hosted backend for BloxChat. Most users should use this default configuration.
The default server is maintained by the BloxChat team and includes automatic updates and support.

​
Reset to Default

If you’ve changed the API Server URL and want to return to the default:
  1. Open Settings
  2. Click Reset to default host under the API Server URL field
  3. Click Save Settings
Changing the API Server URL reloads the application. You’ll need to verify your Roblox account again if switching to a different server.

​
Roblox Integration

Configure how BloxChat interacts with your Roblox installation.

​
Roblox Logs Folder

BloxChat monitors your Roblox logs folder to detect when you join games and identify server JobIds for channel routing.
BloxChat automatically detects your Roblox logs folder on Windows:Default path: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Roblox\logsIn most cases, you don’t need to configure this manually.
BloxChat cannot detect server changes if the logs folder path is incorrect. If channel switching isn’t working, verify this setting first.

​
Account Information

The Signed in as section shows your current Roblox account:
  • Display Name: Your Roblox display name
  • Username: Your Roblox username (with @ prefix)
  1. Open Settings
  2. Scroll to Roblox Integration
  3. Click Log out
  4. Confirm the action
  5. You’ll be redirected to the login screen
Logging out clears your local session. You’ll need to complete verification again to log back in.

​
Privacy & Media

Control how BloxChat handles external content to protect your privacy.

​
External Image Loading

When enabled, BloxChat loads and displays images and videos shared in chat.
What happens:
  • Images and videos are loaded and displayed inline
  • Media is fetched directly from external URLs
  • Provides a richer chat experience
Loading external images can reveal your IP address to the server hosting the image. Consider disabling this if privacy is a concern.
To toggle image loading:
  1. Open Settings
  2. Scroll to Privacy & Media
  3. Check or uncheck Load external images inside chat
  4. Click Save Settings

​
Appearance

Customize the visual appearance of the BloxChat window.

​
GUI Opacity

Adjust the transparency of the BloxChat window background.
1

Open Settings

Click the settings icon in the BloxChat menu.
2

Find GUI Opacity

Scroll to the Appearance section.
3

Adjust the slider

Drag the GUI Opacity slider to your desired transparency level:
  • 100%: Fully opaque (default)
  • 50%: Semi-transparent
  • 20%: Highly transparent (minimum)
4

Preview in real-time

The opacity changes are visible immediately as you adjust the slider.
5

Save your changes

Click Save Settings to persist your opacity preference.
Lower opacity values (60-80%) are ideal if you want BloxChat to overlay your game window without blocking important UI elements.
Use cases for different opacity levels:
  • 100%: Best for reading chat in a separate window
  • 80%: Good balance between visibility and see-through
  • 60%: Subtle overlay that doesn’t obstruct gameplay
  • 40%: Minimal distraction, harder to read
  • 20%: Nearly invisible, only for experienced users

​
Automation

Configure automatic actions triggered during gameplay.

​
Auto Join Message

Set a message to be sent automatically when you join a new Roblox server (when your JobId changes). Configuration:
  1. Open Settings
  2. Scroll to Automation
  3. Enter your message in Auto Join Message
  4. Click Save Settings
Example messages: 
joined the channel
Leave the field empty to disable auto-join messages.
When the message is sent:
  • When you join a Roblox game (new JobId detected)
  • When you switch to a different server in the same game
  • When you reconnect after a disconnect
Auto-join messages count toward rate limits. Rapidly switching servers may trigger rate limiting.
