I have used a VTT, most recently Roll20, for 12+ years, so the entire combat encounter is sort of a prop. I used top-down pogs for NPCs, and I \make sure that the pog is armed with what the NPC is using.
Beyond that, written materials and images of buildings posted to a specific handout channel on Discord.
I have never used music/background sounds, as I don't like anything that interferes with communication. I have played a very brief noise (ringtones are good) for Eavesdrop checks on certain monsters, but while the players liked it, I found it to be too much of a hassle to make it a regular thing.
