Recently started to DM for some friends of mine and saw FGU and it looked like a lot of fun. Only problem is not sure where I should start on how to use everything. If there were any videos for newcomers someone can recommend, or if someone would like to provide some help I'm all ears. Really excited to give this a try.

Good Day Chewie300 and Welcome to the boards :)
A great place to start is with Fantasy Grounds Acadamy: https://www.fantasygroundsacademy.com/ There are lots of videos and reading material available such as the Fantasy Grounds Wiki: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996639165/Fantasy+Grounds+Unity+User+Manual

Fantasy Grounds is really powerful and can take some time to learn so just ask here for any help you might need, plus the support depends on the game you are playing too, 5E is the most supported then Pathfinder, I think. :)

We are gonna use 5e and play off the Golden Vault book. Liked the idea of doing something close to Oceans 11.
