Online BB w both remote players seeing screen?

1) I would like to play with someone in Ohio and I’m in Nashville TN. We’d like to hook up and play the game where we both see the screen and can access out teams. Can this be done?

2) I see the big mic on the top of the screen and suspect there’s a way to have announcing. How do I turn that on?

I’ve only had the game for 4-5 weeks so still learning.

Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to do this, unless you set up an online league. You wouldn't need to add other players, but someone would have to act as commissioner and deal with file upload/download. You can read about setting up an online league, it's not simple. Also, it can be irritating if one person dupes the AI teams with "unfair" trades, waiver claims, etc.

You could probably figure out how to do this via Zoom with screen sharing and one person hosting the game and making the roster changes for the remote player. Once upon a time people played in remote leagues without even owning a game, they'd email the commissioner all their moves and he'd input them. Tedious to me, but... You could also run one team together and do that via Zoom; OOTP sponsors a few live plays like that you can see on youtube, take a look in the general forum for those.
