How do I turn off the freehand tool for players?

Me and my players all have ADHD when it comes to any of our campaigns. It doesn't make it better when just one of my players draws the among us bean that everyone can see because we all just go monkey mode, man. Today was the worst of it, they were fighting a gunslinger and one person drew a little among us character and immediately everyone just started saying "Amogus Amogus imposser sus guys eject him he's being sus" this causes a loop as we feed off eachother and soon enough it's been 2 hours and all we've done is talked about how we would want someone to launch our ashes into space and say "They were not the imposter" at our funeral. It's hell, a living hell. How do I turn the art tool off?

Unfortunately you can't. This is probably one of the most common complaints I've seen about Roll20 lol

If you can get your players to install the Stylus browser extension, you could have them each hide the Drawing Tool button from themselves.

I think there is an API script or was one (might be obsolete now) that would lock the drawing tools but the API is a pro sub feature.

You can't disable the drawing tool of players as a free/plus user. If you had a Pro subscription, you could use the DryErase API, which does this. Think it technically deletes any player-drawn things instantly rather than prevents them, but it  has the same effect. Could you convince the players to doodle in microsoft paint or outside of Roll20, or at least only in the corner of the map, so it isn't as distracting to the game? Maybe stop the game if they won't compromise, even end a session prematurely to drive home the point how it makes the game less fun for you? Could also be a good idea to institute a concrete break for your sessions halfway, where the doodling/off-topic talk and other stuff is explicitly allowed,  and then tuned off when you resume the session? This is an inter-personal problem, and solving it as such might be best anyway.

DryErase is totally still a thing =D: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2948292/script-dryerase-updated-to-v0-dot-1-5" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2948292/script-dryerase-updated-to-v0-dot-1-5</a> Pat S. said: I think there is an API script or was one (might be obsolete now) that would lock the drawing tools but the API is a pro sub feature.

Thank you very much for your hard work.
