No video / voice chat option

Running on a Samsung GT N5110 (Android 4.2.2) Bought the subscription exclusevely for tablet use, however I can't see or hear the other players. In fact, the option in "Settings" to enable voice and video chat that I can see on the PC is missing when I open through the tablet. Otherminor issue, the character sheet is jumbled on the tablet screen due to width sizing, there dhould be a zoom out option. Regards, Leo
According to the Mobile Tablet Support wiki page, currently Voice and Video chat is not supported due to the fact that many mobile web browsers do not yet support WebRTC. Skype might be an alternative in the meantime, but this would be why you are not seeing the voice/video chat options.
Hello, thanks for te reply. B the documentation it says Video in unsupported. What about voice only?
Most likely not because the entire system used is unsupported. While you can choose to broadcast (in the game itself) either video and voice, or voice only, they still use the same platform in order to do the actual broadcast. So if it doesn't work for video chat, it won't work for the voice either since the only difference is whether you broadcast the actual video.

I don't have that kind of tablet, so this is just a hunch, but since you said it's an Android OS (developed by Google...) could the GM do the "Launch In Google Hangouts" option and then you look at the game within Hangouts on your tablet? Maybe that would give you voice since everything's in the Google properties. P.S. Are you the GM or a Player? The "Support Roll20" page says the limitation that the GM should subscribe the Supporter account (mobile tablet support "for you and your players"), I'm not sure if this is right though: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/account/supporter/?minbarma" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/account/supporter/?minbarma</a>...
Malkav, Sean is correct. The voice is transmitted using the same system (WebRTC) as video so neither is currently supported.
