I’m about to start a campaign and I am new to the way things are done. Do we just use this site to keep track of stuff and stream through video or other such? Or can we do a forum campaign where players and the DM type stuff out?
D&D Beyond is a set of tools and resources to be used for hosting and/or playing a D&D session. You could play this D&D session in a number of ways:
1. Live in-person with local friends 2. Live over the internet via streaming video and/or just voice chat 3. Delayed play-by-post, which we do have a forum board for
You'll notice a campaign manager for keeping track of player character sheets and campaign notes. This section remains a work-in-progress with many great features planned for addition. Campaigns are all about getting together and enjoying a story - you are free to find a method with suits you best. D&D Beyond is here to provide efficient access and organization of the resources needed. : )

Whichever way you want. There's not a virtual tabletop, like Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds, but anything else I can think of works. Also, see https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/looking-for-players-groups and https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/play-by-post.

Playing remotely, I highly suggest Discord, the voice chat is good and it makes it quick to share photos and descriptions.
