Drawing with a tablet on Roll20

1677686201

I am an illustrator and I use a wacom graphics tablet to draw my maps and other such things. However, for simplicity and spontaneity, I'd love to be able to draw directly into roll20 rather than upload images of my maps. I have tried Google Chrome and Firefox, but Roll20 doesn't "register" my tablet in either. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Are you able to navigate at all using your tablet?  As a note, Roll20 is not an art program. Although it has some very basic drawng tools.

I've figured out a way, nevermind and thank you! The solution was in my tablet settings, unchecking "use windows ink" for the browser in question.

You can also check out the Touch20 browser extension. I haven't used it, but it has some positive reviews for increasing the utility of Roll20 on touch screens and tablets.
