As I have been planning out the start of my next campaign for D&D 5e, I have encountered a few inconveniences. I usually run a campaign in person at the table and am unused to doing so online. There is a cornucopia of D&D tools, guides and tips online for D&Ds of all sorts. However in my experience this site has proven to be a wonder for various reasons all of us are aware. The site is continuously developing new wonderful features, like dice rolling and encounter builders. On top of that there are extensions to make our lives further easier.
And after seeing the twitch extension tool, I started wandering if perhaps anyone knows of an extension or tool that would run alongside D&D beyond for DM's, on a similar principle as the twitch extension does. What I mean specifically is; on twitch a viewer can now with a comfortable UI quickly gain access to various information on the character of his/her choosing. Life, status effects and so on. So I cannot help but to seek the aid of the forums in possibly finding such a useful DM tool.
I don't use this Twitch extension so maybe this is a dumb suggestion, but isn't the DM essentially a viewer too? Open up Twitch in a separate tab or window, or on a second monitor or device, and access the info that way?

Thank you for responding Pangurjan. I considered this before making the inquiry as well as just doing it the good old way of writing it down on a piece of paper during the session. I was just really hoping there might be an overlay tool that would work with D&D beyond. One that would stay even as i look up monsters, spells or rules. Otherwise i'll prolly go with one of the two former things i mentioned. I already have a lot of information on my screens. Such as a name generator. Notes for the current local homebrew vicinity. Notes to help me stay on character with the various npc's as well as notes for me not to mess up continuity. AS well as a DM screen
