Easy way to play remote and table top on tv at same time?

So im new to trying to run on Roll20 and have always been a traditional table top player with maps and miniatures with the new addition of digital maps on the tv within the past few years. Some of my players are unable to be there physical right now so we were going to switch to roll20. Is there a way to play on the tv easily later when we are partially in person or fully in person or is it an all or nothing thing with remotely roll20? I am most concerned about FOW and dynamic lighting so players wouldnt be able to see the whole map on the tv. PS:any essential videos or articles that you think are a must for a brand new to roll20 GM, please send them my way :)
First, if you're new to Roll20, here's my overview of the differences in Roll20 subcriptions: A Roll20 Plus subscription primarily gives you access to additional tools to improve your game : dynamic lighting, more storage, and no ads. A Roll20 Pro subscription includes Plus benefits, but primarily gives you access to tools to make your gameplay more efficient: transmogrifier, API scripts, custom character sheets, etc. Since you have a Pro subscription, I'll suggest that the most universally useful API script is TokenMod .  It allows you to create macros that can adjust almost any setting on a token.   There are lots of people who use Roll20 to play in person.  What you want to do is use a Dummy Account . There are several benefits to using a Dummy Account, but it's great for use in person, which is listed as #2 in that link. Basically create another account, give it control access to all player characters, and stream from that. If you have a Pro subscription and are still using LDL, then the Observer Script is a great tool as well to change the current view to whichever player is active on the Turn Order. Once the UDL bug gets fixed related to switching player control and light settings, then UDL will be able to use it as well. You can also read up on other ideas on the Roll20 Wiki page for playing in person .
