Turn Order and Names Help Needed

Hi, I ran my very first session on Roll20 last night and it well reasonably well, apart from players occasionally not being able to hear each other. We did however, run into some specific issues that I'd like to reach out to the community on. So you know, all of my players were using the Beyond 20 extension to Google Chrome, so that they could use their 5E D&D Beyond character sheets in game. Three things came up that bugged them and they all have something to do with names. 1: Although I named the icons I was using for the monsters, when everyone rolled initiative and hopped into the Turn Table the only name they could see was their own. Not the other players, not the monsters. They could only see the icons. 2: They couldn't see any of the other HP bars other then their own. This may actually be a good thing, but still I'd like to understand it. 3: When I rolled dice for the NPCs and monsters the players just saw "GM Rolling" in the chat bar so they couldn't tell which monster was doing what. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Phil GM

1&2 - Click on a token, then click the gear to open up the settings. Click on the "Advanced" tab, and see the checkboxes on the left-hand side. Enable those for your players to see those items.

3 is probably a setting in Beyond20, i've never used it.  I assume that it just pushes chat messages into Roll20 based on what you are using from DnD Beyond.  There is probably a setting for the GM about whether to use open rolls, which will affect if it whispers the GM results, or just puts them publicly in chat.

Look for "Whisper Monster Rolls" in the settings for the plugin.
Thank you for all of your advice. I have sorted it and all 3 items are now working as desired. Phil
