I want an announcement to appear for everybody's GUI and the sound to play for everyone but it only appears for the announcer despite the main script being server side.

Local script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

if player.Name == "Giant_breakerGuy2000" then
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local textbox = script.Parent.Parent.Text

    game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(textbox)
    
end)

else
script.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end

Script:

Image attatched, too long

I'm a beginner scripter, so please try to keep it as simple as possible

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local sound = game.SoundService.AnnouncementSound

local function getUserIdFromUsername(username)
local success, result = pcall(function()
return Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(username)
end)
if success then
return result
else
warn("Could not find user: " .. username)
return nil
end
end

local ThumbnailUrl = "https://www.roblox.com/headshot-thumbnail/image?userId=%d&width=420&height=420&format=png"

local function getAvatarImage(userId)
return string.format(ThumbnailUrl, userId)
end

-- Keep track of latest announcement per player
local latestAnnouncementTime = {}

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)

local players = game:GetPlayers()
for i,v in players do

local imagelabel = screengui:WaitForChild("ImageLabel")
local imagelabel2 = screengui:WaitForChild("ImageLabel2")
local textlabel = screengui:WaitForChild("TextLabel")

    local thisAnnouncementTime = tick()
    latestAnnouncementTime[player.UserId] = thisAnnouncementTime

    imagelabel.ImageTransparency = 0

        imagelabel2.Image = avatarImageUrl
    end
    
    task.delay(5, function()
        if latestAnnouncementTime[player.UserId] == thisAnnouncementTime then
            imagelabel.ImageTransparency = 1
            imagelabel2.ImageTransparency = 1
            textlabel.TextTransparency = 1
        end
    end)
