How to I switch off my players having to request permission to move their token? I don't think this used to be on by default but it seems to be for me now.

You can turn off Token locking by clicking this button on the toolbar:

You can also turn it off in the map settings. Both do the exact same thing.

Where it says "Toggle Token Lock"

You can also right-click the map and choose "Unlock Tokens" at the SW position on the radial menu.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. Is there a way to change the name of a campaign?

[Zacchaeus]

Yes, simply rename the campaign folder inside the campaigns folder in the FG Data folder.

How do I add a custom character portrait in FG Unity? I have no idea where the default folders are for the install. I have all the stuff figured out for Classic but fairly clueless about Unity.

[Zacchaeus]

Unity is the same as Classic in that it has a data folder. As in Classic click the folder icon top left of the start screen to open the data folder and you'll find inside there a portraits folder into which you can place your portraits.

The default location for Unity data folder is C;/users/uesername/AppData/Roaming/Smiteworks/Fantasy Grounds. But it won't be there if you decided to install in a different location.

Thanks!

Since my group is short a bit on players, I am controlling one of the PCs as the GM. Is there a way to make that character's image show at the top left along with the other PCs?

Only if you join your own game as a player. You can do that by starting a second instance of FG on the same computer as you are running host and click join and then type your username into the Join by section or type localhost in the join by IP section depending on if you are running a Cloud or LAN Based game.

Is there a way to set up LOS using occluders such that a character could enter an area, such as a tent, wagon, etc., and while inside the area they would not be seen by any characters or NPCs that are outside the area, and the character inside the area would not be able to see out?

Doesn't just a regular wall and door do this? And of course players are not using Party Vision.

If you use terrain so those outside can see the tent, they will see in, and anyone in will see out.
