[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9328880, member: 6796661"] Be careful what you wish for. So far, every implementation of conference calling integrated in a major VTT has been disappointing for me. If they are going to integrate into the VTT interface they need to make it possible to do voice only and completely hide the video. It eats up too much screen real estate. Or let you pop out the video into another window. I've only used video in my remote games when I'm setup with dual screens. But then, their is not much difference between having it embedded in the VTT and using a separate teleconference app. What is more interesting to me is how Roll20 might do integrations beyond embedding the voice & video from Discord into the VTT interface. There are already VTT mods and Discord applications that will integrate rolls, etc. But even when not clumsy, I've never found enough value in them to bother. Now that Roll20 is giving official dev support, they could so some interesting things. For me, the best thing about the integration is that you only have to send one link for players to join. And if you are using integrated Discord, if a player's internet goes down, or they just have a bad connection, they can still dial in by phone to participate. [/QUOTE]
