Hi

I will be GMing a campaign in June for five or six experienced players that have never joined this forum or used FGU.

I have a License for FGU and want the players to use the demo...

Can anyone help to point me in the right direction... youtube videos and/or things to read... so I can clearly help them... to go step by step, to know how to go from scratch all the way to entering my prepared campaign.

Once they are logged in to my campaign the rest is fine.

Thank you so much for any advice and help.

This is also a good resourse:

Good luck to you and your players!

This series talks you through the basics https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?75515-New-Video-Series

Also note that you can click on the query icon at the top right of any FGVTT window and it'll take you to the wiki page for that subject.

There's Tutorial Campaign module (with 2 pregens) within FGU and Official Guide of it in Steam Forums:

If you want to teach FGU to your players in practical ways without spoiling your own campaign.

Good Day Korvaak :)
One thing that I noted was when trying to get your players to join your Cloud campaign, if it is set to private, is the name must be the same as the GM's screen name here. Meaning if they are looking for your game they must search for Korvaak not korvaak. :)
