Is there a way to let multiple people collaborate as GMs?

Only hot seat at this point. The software does not support it, It may however be on the wishlist?

One way is for the "master" GM to share their desktop to other GMs via VNC or something similar - this will allow other people to see the GM screen and "take control" if allowed. But, as madman says, there is nothing natively supported in FG for multi-GMs.

Collaboration offline could be accomplished by sharing the campaign folder via dropbox or some other cloud-based storage. GMs would have to be careful that only one person at a time was accessing the campaign files (running FG against the files) at a time.

Or, a better solution for offline collaboration is for each GM to create modules containing the information they are working on - then provide the module to the master GM to include in the FG modules for the master campaign.

It means One GM Starts then he leave the seat and another sits down then after a time perhaps the first GM takes over again by the first leaving the seat and the first sitting back down... Like "Hotseat Millionaire"

If you are just talking about switching GMs between sessions, you can send the campaign data folder to the next GM between sessions.
