Greetings, I seem to have forgot how to log in as a player so i can see what the player sees. I am testing some Unity combined with mask to limit vision.

Do I need a separate account (I think I had one) or can I use the same primary account and log in as a player on a second machine?

I want keep logged in as the DM but have a smaller laptop running so i can see what is going on from the players point of view.

Thanks for the assist.

Just start a second instance of FGU on the same machine; and connect to your campaign using the Join Campaign screen in the launcher. If you're using the Cloud server type, then use the lobby or your FG user name to connect to yourself. If you're using the LAN server type, then use "localhost" in the direct IP connection.

Thanks Moon, I am using the cloud type server. You are doing great work!

You can use a cloud location to store and backup to and from, just can't point your live folder at it.

True. However, Larsenex was referring to the "Cloud" connection option in FGU.
