Hello! As far as I know lichess does not support using real chess boards. I developed free and open source tool which enables that. As far as I tested, it works perfectly fine on lichess. Hope you have fun with it!

Latest Release: https://github.com/karayaman/Play-online-chess-with-real-chess-board/releases

Is this the kind of board type thing your talking about? because if so here's a post where they say they enabled it.
@TRex7 No he developed a program which reads the moves with a webcam, so no DGT board required, just a normal chess board.
Anyone got it working? Feel free to message me if you had any difficulties while using the tool.
@alperkarayaman I've just downloaded the "program.zip" file. Call me silly but I didn't find the README.md file: in which subdirectory can I find it?
@Bracco README.md file is not placed in "program.zip". It is in source code. You should go to Github page in the link https://github.com/karayaman/Play-online-chess-with-real-chess-board and scroll down a little. You will see a section that starts with title "README.md" and you can find all the instructions and information about the tool.
Thank you, I'll give it a try
wow man that should have took you so much time. nice work man and a very good/intresting idea
