Youtube link showing how to use the PHB in Roll20?

Hello, Are there any solid Youtube links you would recommend that show how to integrate the PHB compendium purchased through Roll20 into your campaign (assuming the viewer/user is the creator and GM)? I bought it based on a conversation with a friend thinking I would be able to link spell description into chat, as well as any items that were in the PHB. I'm not really sure what good this compendium is other than another way to reference without flipping through a physical book and then the tokens it comes with. Thanks!

Not sure about a YouTube link, but the PHB is amazingly useful, depending on the character sheet you are using . With the official Roll20 5e sheet, you have unlocked every spell and character feature to build characters using the Charactermancer. You have drag and drop on feats, spells, proficiencies, equipment, and more. The Shaped character sheet does similar, though it lacks charactermancer integration. If you are using the older (abandoned) Community sheet, then you have no integration between Compendium and Sheet, and it is primarily for reference. If you are looking for ways to hot link information, there are a variety of techniques. I recently posted one here . If you would like to post some specific technique queries on how to use it (i.e. the task you wish to accomplish), I'm sure there are any number of users (including myself) who will try to help you figure out some solutions.
Thanks for this! Let me play around with what you mentioned and see where I end up!
