Is it possible for a GM to have a token in the PC area at the same time they run the game so the players can see the portrait like they see their own. Like if there is a rotating gm in the campaign even when youre running you can have your PC with the other PCs

If you want the PC to appear as being ran by another player then the GM can run a player instance of FG on their computer as well as the GM instance. Connect the second instance to the GM instance using a host address of localhost

But, this means that the GM has to keep switching between the 2 instances. The GM can open up any PC character sheet in their GM instance, make rolls, etc.. but the results won't be seen by the other players in the same way as if it was another player controlling the PC.

Try it out - see if either approach does what you want.
