No, you cannot. There is no map feature. There is no chat feature. There is no way to share documents within the interface. Beyond is not a VTT.
The Campaign feature will let you share your purchased content (yes, you have to buy it all here over again if you want access) with your players, assuming you also pay for a subscription. It will let you see their character sheets. It now keeps a log of die rolls so you can see their die rolls. And it has a page you can use to put content such as summaries of play, links to things, etc.

WOTC lies. We know that WOTC lies. WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. We know that WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. And still they lie.
Because of the above (a paraphrase from Orwell) I no longer post to the forums -- PM me if you need help or anything.
A lot of people like the "compendium" better here (the books and how they are laid out/formatted).
They has some pretty virtual dice you can shell out money to roll.
But mostly... it has some good error checking on the character creation step that my group and I find worthwhile. Otherwise, no, there really is no reason to use DDB if you are already set up with everything on R20 or FG.

Thanks! Guess I'll stick to Roll20 then. But if I can make and see characters sheets, and still make homebrew all in roll20, what point is there of using D&D beyond?
I use it for 2 main reasons:
1. you can make, view, keep tack of, and edit characters SO easily.
2. there is a really good community on the forums.
Roll20 is primarily a VTT. DDB does not have that kind of functionality. The DDB Campaign feature is an organisational too for DMs - collect character sheets, prepare encounters, share content. Just click the button, you'll see what it does. It's possible to combine the interactive character sheets from DDB with Roll20's environment as well (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/general-discussion/38455-beyond20-integrating-d-d-beyond-with-roll20).
Want to start playing but don't have anyone to play with? You can try these options: [link].

Maybe you like the interface better...
