Ok, I joined on roll20 but how to import my dndbeyond character sheet eludes me so far. It's my first time on roll20, please bear with me. Can you give a few tips for the most basic things?
Been a little bit since I’ve used roll 20, and I’ve never used it on my phone. I’ll have access to the computer tomorrow night, will try it from there. Using the mobile app, I don’t seem to be able to import my character, or at least I haven’t figured out how yet.

If your boyfriend asks you to join his game, he really likes you ... and also, he needs a healer.
(I thought DM had to import characters to their game but could be wrong. I have been searching for a bit and it seems to only have directions for DM/GM to add characters)
(I tried it again and still couldn't figure it how to import a dndbeyond sheet. However, at the journal tab are now 4 empty character sheets and I have access to edit one of them (so I changed its name to Shayan). I assume there is one for each one of us? But it looks to me that I have to pass the information one by one, is that so? I can do that but I want to be sure that it's the only way. Moreover, I installed the Beyond20 extension on Chrome and if I open my character sheet on dndbeyond and roll20 at the same time, the rolls made on dndbeyond carry over to roll20. Do I need to pass all character info to roll20, or is this enough?)
(Another thing, the map on roll20 says each hex is a quarter mile. Do we just use the map for positioning ignoring the actual map and use 5 feet for each hex, or how do we play on this? I see the four wolves but I am not sure where we should position ourselves, just 12 hex away as if each hex is 5 foot or basically next to them if the hex is a quarter mile and, i.e. we want to indicate how far away we are from the first village/town. Sorry, I'm a bit confused and try to find my bearings with this, for me, new tool.)
Using the DnD beyond extension in the browser works well - I don't actually have to import my character sheet into roll20, just roll the dice on my DnD beyond sheet, and it imports the roll into the roll20 game. Thanks for the tip. There is a way to import your character sheet, if you want to, though with the extension, I'm not it's necessary?
Copy the entire content of that page, and go to Roll20. In the Roll20 chat type the command `!beyond import` and paste the copied contents after that, eg:
(At the end I just added all my character information in manually, it was not too much work but I also think it is not necessary. However, I think as a minimum we should prepare a character with a name and a token in roll20. Otherwise, many things like movement, adding conditions, manipulate the health pool will be more difficult to track.)
I changed maps on Roll20 to better reflect the situation facing the Party. Each square is 5'. Set your token's dimensions to 50x50, and place it near the dead body about 40' from the dire wolves. (If anyone wants me to do Maintenace on their token, let me know.
'Huh, didn't the howls come from down the road? This fog is playing tricks with me. Stay sharp, Shayan!' Shayan, surprised by the direction from which the wolves appear, hurries over to Tuck when a dire wolf growls at him and reveals viciously sharp teeth. She swings her hammer at the wolf's face, "Try to eat that, Saurfang!" Her efforts are easily dodged by the dire wolf.
(Not sure how that happened but the token with tooltip 'Tuck' was placed by me, and is the portrait of Shayan. The token that is called Shayan features Shayan's full picture and was placed by someone else (by Tuck I suppose). Being a frontliner, Shayan tried to be between the wolves and the others and Tuck would probably wait at a safer spot for a good strike, so I think that would have made sense. Anyway, can we change one of the pictures as to not have Shayan appear two times (I prefer the portrait with red round red border as I'm using this colour here, too)? Also, I can move Tuck and Shayan, I don't think that's supposed to be as I can't move anyone else. I just do my turn regardless of whether Tuck and Shayan seem switched as she can easily move into strike range.)
(As a note, I think it would be nice if the wolves had tooltips with unique names, like wolf 1 or so. For the time being, I'll be calling the one that attacked Tuck Saurfang.)

Yeah, I'm confused too. I joined the campaign, but importing the sheet is confusing me.
(Cyeron) I had importing characters blocked. You should be able to import your characters to the Roll20 site.
My humble apologies. Install Beyond20, it's an extension that posts rolls from D&D Beyond into the Chat for Roll20.
I've got mine set up for rolling, but I can't import the token. Thanks!

Using the DnD beyond extension in the browser works well - I don't actually have to import my character sheet into roll20, just roll the dice on my DnD beyond sheet, and it imports the roll into the roll20 game. Thanks for the tip. There is a way to import your character sheet, if you want to, though with the extension, I'm not it's necessary?
To import your sheet, go to the character page on DNDBeyond and put '/json' after the url, eg:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Atheos/characters/1307201/json
Copy the entire content of that page, and go to Roll20.
In the Roll20 chat type the command `!beyond import` and paste the copied contents after that, eg:
!beyond import {"character":{"id":1307201,"name":"Qroohk","player":"Atheos","age":null,"hair":null,"eyes":null,"skin":null,"height":null,"weight":null,"size":"Medium","alignment":"Lawful Good" ..........
Your character will be imported now.

(Roll20 is locked out of my work computer so I will try and update all of my things when I get home in a few hours.)
I added the Beyond20 extension to everyone's character sheet. Just click on an action you want to take on DDB and it should show R20.
Combat Begins!
The First 2 dire wolves attack Tuck and June! Both of them manage to escape the nasty, pointy fangs of death.
Shayan's Turn!

(DM) Who is the square portrait without a name?
Everyone: If you don't like your character's token feel free to delete it, and add one to your liking.
