great video! fwiw, you have always needed to adjust the players HP on the character sheet due to the limitations of the dndbeyond character sheet and how abovevtt can not manipulate the sheet from the token (Same with character conditions). players should be managing their own HP anyway :) To "target", double click, but nothing is done "Automatically". You can just select the monster token and then click the damage button on the game log to apply damage to monsters quickly, though. in the settings tab, there are way more options if you click the "change default token options"
Thanks a lot for your tutorial ! I am going to start my very first campaign this weekend and your videos have been such an amazing help to get me ready for it!
AboveBTT seems a good option for those not keen into automations and such. My problem with it is actually with DnDBeyond and the whole month subscription to share content with players. But still, definetely a great option for those looking into simple and quick play. Great video!
Alternatively, you can use make the characters as the DM, and then assign them to the players. So they don't actually need to access any resource - no sharing content needed. Of course, you'd need access to the books yourself, unless the really basic SRD is enough to get you going.
I love AboveVTT because how simple and easy to use it is, it does just about everything you'd need it to. A bit annoying you have to manually do damage and healing for the player characters, but thats not a deal breaker. My only complaint about it (and for most VTTs I guess) is its not very mobile friendly. If D&D Beyond manages to add all the same functionality as this AND have it work right on their mobile app, there really won't be a reason to use AboveVTT anymore

to track spell/concentration durations, there are "timer"/counters under the custom conditions in the right click menu on a token

it doesnt only work on chrome, but on any chromium based browser, including edge, firefox etc
Oh! I sued to be Chrome only. None of my players could connect without Chrome installed.
