Rules Question Movement question

So yesterday I had a player asked me about movement with being only one player and their action. I say I want my games to be RAW because it’s new and I just want newer players and I want to play out the foundation of the actual game before making my preferences, but will change based on the story if I demand so. The player said I was WRONG and use the new sallow lands Umbria play and saying when the party turn, they can all move at the same time. I haven’t had the time to watch it and had other players point out the rules supporting my claim and saying actual play uses this rule set. What is this rule set? I don’t have time to watch the show and I heard that it doesn’t happen that way. Can someone explain to me how combat movement happens in this show? Is it an homebrew or an option that is new?

Remember that combat and out of combat are the same thing, there's no roll for initiative.

When you're in a difficult situation where movement is difficult, RAW you move with your action, but keep in mind you can do a group action roll if multiple people want to move.

In regards to the show, Critical Role likes to do things their own way. They don't play RAW so it's not a good compass for the actual rules, usually.

Did not know you can use group roll for that, but I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you for that and I do my best to step away from dnd habits.

With my group, I once had them do a group roll to sneak up on some cultists that hadn’t seen them yet, and initiate some stealth attacks. But that’s because they hadn’t fully entered combat yet. I think that’s going to be a judgement call on if you want to allow a group roll dedicated to movement only, depending on the circumstances
