No video or voice on Tablet

I have an asus pad infinity running android and useing chrome, but the audio options do not work, is this by design? I would like to be able to play while traveling without a laptop and thought this was included in subscriptions.

Tablet support is still considered beta even after all this time. I have a galaxy tab 2 that gets no audio or video. I think skype would work for your needs but not sure.
But on most androids you can only run one window at a time. I think I cannot Skype and use roll20.net maps at the same time.
There is currently no support in Chrome for Android for WebRTC, which is the technology which powers the video+voice chat. If they add it, we'll support video/voice on your device, but until then unfortunately it's out of our hands.

Do you know if it will work on a weak windows 8 tablet such as the $250 ones that have the low budget processors?

And no version of IE has support for WebRTC at this time.
I would install Chrome on it, was just only wondering if it would be too resource intensive.

which tablet are you looking at?
I do not have one in particular in mind. But I figure I could easily talk my wife into letting me have $300-$400 if I let her have my laptop.

This page is all I could find out about the chrome browser : <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95411?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95411?hl=en</a>
Cool, thanks. I think I will try it. Carrying my work lap top and my personal laptop on trips can be a bummer. So this would be awesome if they have the power to work right.

Tablets will be the death of us all I say! I want my desktop! A public service announcement from the old fart's club against them newfangled devices. :) (Yes, this was an attempt at humor, I will stop now.)
Young people now days eh.

I'm thinking about buying a diy parts and upgrading my desktop when I get my pell grant. I need to start looking in to tablets more because my tab 2 is damaged due to my family dropping it to many times.
I have found in almost every case a lap top is cheaper than a desk top, unless you are gaming and need the video card. Even a laptop plus a monitor will be cheaper than buying a desk top and all the little extras, such as microphone, camera, monitor, speakers and whatever else. Now days you can get a decent laptop new for under $500 unless you are gaming. PS: For those who care , my friend has a cheap old laptop with a generic 1 ghz dual core processor and it loads and runs roll20.net fine. The monitor was only something like 1300 x 766 or so, but it did not have issue, so if any of you are looking at a less expensive computer looks like roll20 does not require much. However the 3d die roller lagged pretty good on him, so he will not use it. For myself I am thinking a mid range tablet like the Surface Pro. Now that the Surface-Pro 2 is out the Surface pro with a i5 is less than $500.
