Roll20 AV - much improved

Full AV on Roll20

 The last three sessions of Curse of Strahd we've opted to go full AV on the platform. Previously, we were using Discord because of past experience. I decided to try again as it was probably 18 months since the last time that I did this. 

It had been awful previously; we'd ended up using Discord for audio and video, but about 12 months ago we started using the video element on Roll20 as one of the players wanted to see everyone else. It wasn't bad; sometimes you'd drop out, but a reload in the preferences would fix it. I'd noticed that we were having to do that less and less, so decided to experiment with the full experience.

It's been really stable and works well. I had it going fine over Edge as well. We're going to stick with it for now, and cut back if it deteriorates. 

It's fair to say Roll20 has seen a lot of changes in the last year, and this looks like they're on the way to properly address one of their weaker points. Good stuff.
