Sources/Compendium Sharing

HI! I have an excited but financially limited party. If I were to buy all the sources we need (PHB, Xan's, Volo's, etc) plus whatever adventure we are on, would I be able to share those with my party?  I know on DND Beyond that this is possible but we would then have to have characters on DND beyond and the game on Roll20. Thanks!

If you are the creator of the game, yes. If you are not the creator of the game, then no.  If you aren't the creator of the game, you could gift those to your DM, though, and then s/he would be able to share them with the party.

It is possible to share compendiums owned by the creator of a game. So the purchases would need to all be on one account, and that account would need to be the game creator. The owner of the products can access the compendiums in-game or from the web interface. The players in the game can only access the info in-game. Edit: Or what Finderski said.
Hi, I just bought a Player's Handbook because I thought sharing was possible. But I didn't realize I would have to be the creator for this. Is there a way to switch (gift) the ownership to my DM now? I made the purchase literally 5-10 minutes ago and I'm not planning to create any games myself!

You will have to email the Devs (<a href="mailto:team@roll20.net" rel="nofollow">team@roll20.net</a>) and tell them what happened and what account that needs it to be transferred to. Usually that is either a profile link or an email address. They will supply all the needed questions and you get to supply the answers.

Contact <a href="mailto:team@roll20.net" rel="nofollow">team@roll20.net</a>. They should be able to clear things up for you. It may not be immediate; I think they are dealing with a couple of issues at the moment.
Thank you! I have already sent an email.
