Would you recommend this as a VTT for D&D?

[kever]

So my party (like most of them I guess) have sometimes scheduling issues due to children, work and all that boring adult stuff. However, a few in the party have asked if we could try remote as that would be easier for them.

So question 1:
Would this and D&D beyond be a good combination for running things remote for a party that has been doing local stuff with battlemaps, tokens and a few minis but no other props?
I have managed to wrangle the players to use D&D beyond already for easier enocounter difficulty calculations among other things ^^
Question 2:
In the reviews I saw people mentioning you can join with your phone and / or tablet. Would it work well enough if we had lets say 4 people actually present, streaming this onto a 55 inch TV in the living room and them using their phones/tablets to join in, arrange voice via discord or whatever and 2 people joining remotely from their PCs so we could atleast physically see the people who can make it that time?

Hey! Developer here, so while my answer is "YES!", I'm obviously biased :) you can join our Discord community if you'd like, and get an answer from someone that's not me.

But to answer your questions: this is pretty much how things work with my group, currently (and exactly what I designed this for). One of my players moved away, and I as the DM wanted to replicate the way we play in-person, which was just throw down a map and minis/tokens and play. We usually have 3 people playing in the same room, and 1 online, joining the game remotely and with voice via Discord.

(side note: highly recommend a conference call microphone/speaker for the people who are in the same room together; it picks up everyone in the room and the people playing remotely don't get an echo, it's great)

We also use Beyond for keeping track of character sheets, and I tend to use Notion for notes and tracking everything else.
