Im using DND Beyond Maps for Online One Shots and for my presential campaign.
Using Online works fine, but we have experienced some annoying issues playing on a TV in my presential Curse of Strahd campaign.
How it occurs:
I was using Maps on my laptop, with "DM View", using the computer for everything, DND Beyond Encounters, notes on my gdrive, sounds with Syrinscape, etc.
And I was using "Spectator view" on the TV on top of the table, to show the map for the players, without spoilers!
Works well if you maintain the "DM view" constantly active, however, since Im using the laptop to everything the map "crashes" after some minutes and starts to "Load" - "LOADING Message"
When this happens I need to reload both TABS: the DM and Spectator View
This is very very very annoying, since the map loses the size and position on the middle of the table, delaying the game a lot! Specially with miniatures positioned in the middle of a combat!
Does anyone have experienced something similar? Anyone have some ideas to solve it?
Sorry for the English, I have just arrived on my home, very unhappy with MAPS to write correctly...
I've been having issues with this same thing for weeks now.. Its extremely frustrating. On top of that my PC's cant even load maps sometimes which brings the session to a screaching hault.
Things that ive tried that havent worked by may work for you?:
Different Browser, having everyone log in and out, clearing cookies/cashe, turning off addblock, and probably some others that I cant think of.
I really hope it gets fixed soon, these issues have been getting worse and worse and my party is seriously debating moving to another platform to play on.

I tried everything on Chrome:
- Graphic aceleration
- Adding DND Beyond and Maps to stay allways active, even when the tab is inactive, llocking memory for the site.
- Refresh cookies
- Clear navigation data
etc.
I do have a robust PC, with 32gb memory, Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX3070.
The real problem is on DND Beyond side, cause after some inactivity, MAPS needs to be reloaded, which playing on a TV is very annoying!
Owlbear works fine for this... maybe I will abandon MAPS
