Just the sidebar.

Hi guys! I've been looking around for a good, simple to use dice roller for use inside Google+ Hangouts, and Roll20 seems the way to go. However, the only feature I really need is the sidebar/chat area with the dice rolls; the map area is unnecessary for us. Is there a way to have just the sidebar open next to the normal webcam video? Thanks!
As far as I'm aware, there is not a way to do this currently.  You can collapse the sidebar if you needed more space for the tabletop area, but I don't think you can do the reverse.

Emma, if you hover your mouse on the left edge of the side bar (not the left edge of the scrollbar), you can drag it to the left to expand it. While not as useful as hiding the tabletop all together, at least you'll have a much larger chat area.
Thanks for the replies! Just to provide some context, my group has a long distance player joining and I planned on using Hangouts or Skype to video conference with them. Having a nice, clear dice roller like Roll20 on screen as well as their video would be nice. We'd like to be able to see his face on the screen instead of the tabletop. I may have to MacGyver something.
Suggestion: Expand the chat window to take up the entire browser.  Then, window the browser down so that there's room for a skype window at the same time.  Would that work for you?
That's something I was considering trying. Thanks for the suggestions. :)
Rather than totally cover the map, you could use the map to drag images on to to help set the scene. Like dropping an image of a castle on there to help describe it.

You could also use Roll20 in Google Hangouts for your Audio/Video and then do what Kristin suggested to get rid of most of the map.  - Gauss
