Does the Roll20 VTT work in a VR browser?

Exactly what the title says. Not looking for an app or extra functionality. I just want to know if the web browser VTT works and can be interacted with on a browser inside of VR.

I've no idea, but it doesn't cost you anything to try if you have the equipment.

Oculus Quest user here. I've managed to get Roll20 to work partially in the native Oculus browser and on Firefox Mixed Reality, but the map is only showing for the corner, without the zoom slide so can't really use that part much. The drag and drop things where a bit iffy as well, but did work to a varying degree. I had a way better experience  using Immersed to instead stream my computer screen to the Quest, where I interacted with it with  the controllers. Just using the Quest as a massive multiscreen worked well with using mouse and keyboard, you just need to be good at touch-typing to be able to write without watching your keyboard. (no screenshot handy) YMMW, try it out.

Here is Roll20 in Chrome in VR via a Valve Index:
Thanks! I'm waiting for a Quest to show up so I can't test anything out yet, but this is encouraging! Has anyone tested D&D Beyond interaction in VR? Andreas J. said: Oculus Quest user here.

The thing with the native VR browsers like the Oculus Browser & the Firefox Mixed Reality is that you don't have access to all the browser plugins and stuff you usually have, so to use Beyond20 you'd want to do things similarly to me and Aaron, by streaming your PC to your VR headset through some application like Virtual Desktop or Immersed . Virtual desktop is only available on Windows, while Immersed can interface with Mac/Windows/Linux.

And are you using Virtual Desktop or something in that image, and not just a VR browser in SteamVR? I see the windows bar at the bottom...
Again, I appreciate the tips! This is actually exactly the information I was hoping for.

And are you using Virtual Desktop or something in that image, and not just a VR browser in SteamVR? I see the windows bar at the bottom... The Index does pretty well.  A and B are right and left click.  I was using Virtual Desktop for that picture, but it honestly works pretty great in the Steam VR desktop view.  The nice thing about Virtual Desktop is that you can lay on the floor and look up at the window (which I was doing in that pic).  I also tried Bigscreen, which I think is more fun, but possibly not as polished.  I couldn't get multiple "screens" working in either, which I think would really sell it.

On the paid version of Immersed you're able to spawn multiple virtual screens(beyond what you actually have on your computer), but think it's only available to the Quest and Go.

You can just use your VR set to view the computer desktop. Then you can use any web browser that is installed on your system and still be able to able to put it anywhere in your VR environment. The issue with most of these solution (i.e. not dedicated app) is that the controls don't always map nicely. Update: Never mind. Sorry. Missed the fact that you want to use it on a Quest which doesn't have a desktop.
It does if you use Oculus Link, I believe.
Just wanted to say I got my Quest in got everything I wanted working using Immersed. Thank you guys so much!

Oh, do share your experiences, I only ever tried it a bit once, but not since.
I played an entire session with the setup. It was great, but not something I'll be doing often. I had 1 virtual window running Roll20, one running D&D Beyond, and Discord running in the background. Everything worked out just like I'd hoped.

And that's with Immersed? Did you use controllers or just hands? Things that worked well, and things that where tricky?
