WebRTC video chat is a new video chat system offered by Roll20 as an alternative to the current Flash-based video chat system. It is enabled as the default video chat technology starting with the Rugged Reroll update. WebRTC is high-definition and runs natively in your browser without the need for any additional plugins. It's also adaptive so it works well with low-bandwidth connections.
Once at least two people are in the game using WebRTC, you should see a dialog box along the top of your screen that asks you to give permission for Roll20 to use your camera/microphone.
In Google Chrome:
A dialog box will appear along the very top of your browser screen. Click "Allow." (You may only have to do this the first time you use WebRTC).
Note that you can click the little camera icon located in the far-right of your address bar to change the settings of what camera/microphone is being used.
In Mozilla Firefox:
A dialog box will appear, click on "Share Selected Devices" to allow Roll20 to start video chat (highlighted in green below). If for some reason a dialog box does not appear, or if you wish to change your settings after the game has started, click on the Camera icon (highlighted in pink below) to change your settings.
