Suggestions on How I Should Finangle this Online Campaign?

Hullo, Sorry if this is in the wrong thread. eep! Anywhooo...I'm new to Roll 20, I joined because Roll 20 seems a useful tool for what I want to try and pull off. But I'm not very tech savvy and was hoping some experienced players could help me out. Here's our situation: Our group normally plays D&D 5E in person, paper and pencil style. But we're starting a new group. We have 4 people in town including me. My old friends (A married couple) in another city. And our possible DM who is out of state. Obviously we need to do this online. Roll20 could be useful, however, there are more people than there are computers. So we thought. What if we play over google hangouts, the 4 of us on 1 computer at my house, the Denver people on their computer, and the DM on his laptop, using Roll 20 for maps and music? Is this possible? Or do you have better ideas on how we Should do this? Lemme know! We're all excited to play but not sure how to go about it. Also we are not sure our DM will be available, so if he falls through, can we use roll 20 to find a DM? Thanks for any help guys! :)
