New users and webcams

I am a new user and I own a microphone but not a webcam, do you think it is absolutely necessary to use one? Or am I fine with using just a microphone?

Most game don't use a webcamera. I never required one in my games and in the games I've played they didn't either but there are those that do but they usually put that in their recruitment post also.

I was totally against using web cams when i first started on roll 20, however I did play a campaign where everyone used them and it DID bring a little more life to the game, its always neat watching facial expressions of the players ;-) But like Metro mentioned 90% of the games do not require you to use a web cam so I wouldnt worry about it to much if at all ;-)

As a mentor and GM of two Traveller games on Roll 20, I require at least sound, but not web cam. use it if you want to.

I hide avatars to save on screen real-estate anyway, so if the game were using webcams through Roll20 I wouldn't see the results anyway. Of course, if the game were using G+ or something else with video, i might see the images that way.
