New and Don't Know What To Do

So I was told by a friend to join this the other day but I'm not exactly sure how it all works.  Could someone explain a bit to me please?
Sure, i have a campaign to teach beginners, would you like to join?

Greetings Kayla, we are here to help. :) The following is a copy/paste from a post I made in a recent similar thread:&nbsp; <a href="http://app.roll20.net/forum/post/73602/very-lost#post-73668" rel="nofollow">http://app.roll20.net/forum/post/73602/very-lost#post-73668</a> Here are a few topics to help narrow things down: Tabletop::&nbsp; You can load maps, tokens, etc onto various layers of the tabletop.&nbsp; The options for a tabletop (such as size) are found in the little blue icon at the top right side of the tabletop window.&nbsp; You can control what players can see via Fog of War and (paid feature) Dynamic Lighting. Journals/Handouts: This tab contains Journals where the GM (and players) can place information regarding characters and NPCs (or anything else really).&nbsp; Journals contain Attributes which are basically a way to input numbers for use in Macros (settings tab) and Abilities (Journals) Music tab, you can find and play music here. Decks and Tables tab: This is where you can make and control card decks. The tables function is not finished but when it is this is where it will be containted.&nbsp; Settings tab: This is where you can find settings such as macros, audio/video settings etc.&nbsp; Audio/Video: We have 3 audio/video systems for a variety of choices. If one does not work for you please try another. Tokbox: This is the default audio/video system.&nbsp; WebRTC: This is a new peer to peer A/V protocol that works with Chrome.&nbsp; Google+ Hangouts: You can open up Roll20 inside Google+ and use it's A/V options.&nbsp; Kayla, to summarize: Roll20 can be used to play many different games but it is up to you to load the maps, images, etc of the game you are playing into Roll20. It is system agnostic so you should be able to play most of your games on Roll20. If there is a tool that you need specifically for your game post it in the suggestion boards and it will be considered. Roll20 is always being updated and added to.&nbsp; If you have any further questions feel free to ask. We are here to help. A note though: Posting what game you wish to play may be of some help in tailoring our responses. :) - Gauss

Thanks!
Welcome!&nbsp; It might seem like a lot at first but it gets easier to use as you tinker with things.&nbsp; Is there something specific that you're having trouble with?&nbsp; I have used Roll20 to run different types of games.&nbsp; It's fairly accommodating to just about any roleplaying game system.&nbsp; To start, you would first need to log in, click on your dashboard and create a campaign.&nbsp; I recommend you make a test campaign that will help you figure out some of the options you have as a gamemaster. I hope that helps...&nbsp;

Idk what you're having problems with, but if it's about map building(If you want to DM/Gm anything) then I made these videos for that reason. Here you go!
