Local Mode (no voice/video)

I plan on primairly using this as a tool for my game for visuals and the map enviroment rather than the video/voice, while they are a nice touch they really don't do anything for us besides get in the way when loading the game up. All i'm asking for is a simple options page for my campaign that allows me to disable video/audio entirely. Not necessarily the audio jukebox, just player player audio/video.
So more than one player will still be joining your game, but I assume you're just all in the same room?
Silly as it may be, we all use our laptops as the game we use uses a crapton of math and has a lot of data with moves and abilities (pokemon tabletop, has pokemon, moves, levels, learned moves, ect). Basically we store a lot of our information in the auto stat tool on a website, excel spreadsheets, and run very little paper stats anywhere else. To answer your question: yes more than one person, all in the same room, but all using different laptops/computers. ps: the jukebox does a decent job of synching the sound, which may or may not be due to the local network. It creates an interesting music playback.

One of my players just asked me for something similar. So we could move all of our handheld busy work onto Roll20, while we continue to meet in person physically. I get the impression my crew may want to just carry laptops and say to hell with all of the other peripheral bits they have to travel with. Man... that'd make a pick-up game easy as pie, wouldn't it? Everyone has a portable computer of some sort these days. In my area, anyway.

I thought you could go to the settings tab and set the "I want to Broadcast," and "I want to receive" to nothing, and there'd be no audio/visual?
@John Stapleton Yes you can, but the setting isn't saved, it's a local setting that gets reset each time you load the page.
