During these challenging times, many long term D&D players are adjusting to the new digital reality of role playing. DnDBeyond has been a huge help facilitating virtual game sessions.
One of the wonderful new features to aid in virtual game session is the virtual dice. However, is there a way for the DM to see what a player rolls? This would give the players the fun of making their own dice roles, but allow the DM to verify the results.
What about just viewing the rolls you've previously made?
I always feel compelled to clear the roll off my screen at the end of my turn but then I want to/can't look at it later. It just visually bugs me so much when it's just sitting there.
I feel like clear from the screen and clear the slate should be two different commands. What if both the dm and the player wanted a record of the rolls. I mean it would encourage honesty which we love.
Hello fellow adventurers!

It's not possible currently but is planned

Much needed! Glad it is planned.
What about player view of DM rolls? And allowing DM to view monster sheets the way players view character sheets (to roll)
That is also planned.

Is there any way for the DM to roll dice on-site, or do we have to roll off-site?
The DM can roll from the floating action button in the encounter builder and combat tracker.
If you're rolling in the combat tracker and the encounter is set up using one of your campaigns, the rolls will be shared in the game log

Thank you so much! That helps a lot.
Hello, one question, how I as a DM make my rolls not visible for my players?
You can't currently hide rolls made from the floating action button. However rolls made from monster stat blocks are hidden.
