Option to broadcast "Video Only"

I would like an option to broadcast "Video Only" through the Roll20 app. There's options for "Nothing", "Voice+Video", and "Voice Only". Why not accommodate all combinations? I like to use an alternative to ToxBox for voice communication, but it's convenient to have video shown inside the Roll20 window for players who don't have multiple monitor setups. In order to do this I have to explain to players how to enable Video+Voice inside Roll20 and then manually mute everyone's audio so that sound isn't coming out of two places. Everytime I bring a new player into the group I have to explain this to them. Every week I have to remind everyone to mute themselves inside the Roll20 app. Is there a technical reason why video can't be enabled without audio?

That is an interesting suggestion. As a way to help with what you've found that you need to explain repeatedly each week --- write it up in a Handout, and click "Show To Players" when they're asking about this. Or write it up in a thread on your Campaign Forum, "How To display your Video Cam and Mute everyone's audio".
