I have a problem with what I call the ad hoc dice roller, not sure of the official name for it, the one on the lower left hand corner of the window where you can click on the d20, a menu is supposed to pop up allowing you to select multiple dice, and then roll. When it works it's great, but most of the time when I click on the d20 the menu only flashes very briefly before disappearing. I've tried clicking on it multiple times, refreshing the window, zooming both in & out, opening new windows, even restarting. It very rarely if ever works.
For the record I'm using this in Chrome 92.0.4515.130 Stable on a Chromebook.
Do you have any extensions that may be interfering? Beyond20, AboveVTT, ad-blockers, VPNs, etc. If you try the same actions in a different browser or in an Incognito browsing window, do you experience the same results?
Halfwing got you on the support, but since you asked it is technically a “Floating Action Button” (aka FAB) that brings up what DDB calls their “digital dice trey,” or just “dice trey” for short. Commonly it gets called stuff like “dice trey button,” but it doesn’t really matter, ad hock dice roller works too.

All great ideas! I've now tried Chrome all in incognito mode, guest mode, and on a different Chromebook, same issue. I then tried Chrome on a Windows computer and installed a different browser on my Chromebook, Android Opera, both which worked fine. So it's something to do with the current version of Chrome on a Chromebook, which is both my browser & OS of choice, so unfortunately anything else is at best a temporary work-around for me.
Please let me know if anyone has any other ideas. I'm going to poke around in the Chrome flags to see if I can stumble across anything that might alleviate this. TX

I decided to try a Powerwash (factory reset). After updating it's the same version of Chrome, and the "dice tray" (thanks IamSposta) now works! I may never know why it broke unless it happens again, hopefully never :)
Hi all. FYI it's back (or gone, depending on how you look at it) ;(
Barring doing another power wash I've again tried incognito & guest mode. I've also tried disabling each of the active extensions one by one, finishing with all of them off. No good. Just now one of my Chromebooks received an update to 92.0.4515.162 stable (32-bit), the tray worked for about 12-ish rolls before I couldn't open it any more.
Not sure whether it might actually help in this case (it's the first I've seen of an issue like this), but you can always try clearing your browser cache, and if that doesn't work, clearing D&D Beyond site data.

I tried clearing the dndb site data, same issue. I had actually already cleared my cache, technically just the downloaded files, so I went ahead & cleared everything. No luck.
I just upgraded both of my devices to 92.0.4515.162 & the dice tray worked briefly after the restart but within a few rolls it stopped responding again. Which to me indicates a local data or caching issue of some sort, but it's baffling why clearing everything doesn't at least briefly solve the issue. As well being able to reproduce it on 3 separate Chromebooks but not on a Windows PC running Chrome shows me it's specifically a Chrome OS issue. Sucks to be me :(
Yes, I have the same problem. The die roller has just disappeared on the character sheet. I am on a windows machine running Chrome
To clarify, my issue is that when I try to click on the dice tray icon at the bottom left of the page the menu flashes briefly not allowing me to select anything. Are you saying that you don't have the dice tray icon on your character sheet or encounter builder at all?
hoping to bump this issue up as I am apparently having a similar problem. When selected on my current campaign, as the DM, I can open the game log on the right but dont see the dice rolling button on the bottom left. As a result I need to go to one of my players character pages to get it to pop up. When I roll this way it appears in the game log as one of their rolls, and can create some confusion. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Dont have any browser extensions that I wasn't using a month ago when it worked. Regardless I turned my adblocker on and off with no luck. Where would an option for Dice Rolling be as a DM simply looking at my active campaign page? I understand where to change it when viewing a personal character, but I was on the site for an hour last night looking for any other sort of "dice rolling" option with no luck. The button appears when on a character sheet, but not when viewing my active campaign
I don't think there is supposed to be a dice roller on the campaign page. You are talking about a screen similar to this correct? (image under spoiler to not flood the page)
As far as I know the dice roller is only on the character sheet and encounters.
Yeah, thats the page. I'm nearly 100% certain I was rolling dice there with the game log open on the right the last campaign I ran a month ago. The only other place I'm able to roll is on the "My Encounters" page, but there I am not able to open the game log (unless the players are actively in a battle). So where can I comfortably roll dice either to myself or everyone while also keeping DnDBeyonds game log open??? Cause once again, Im quite certain I did exactly that on the page you screenshotted

AlumniI'll pass all this information along to the team. Thanks!
Much appreciated. I'll be sure to update here if I manage to figure out anything on my own. Thanks

Do you have dice rolling turned on?
are you using any browser extensions?
