GM and Player On One PC

I've been playing around a bit with Roll20 and was wondering if its possible to open both a GM and Player window on one PC? The reason I ask this is because I wanted to use Roll20 to assist my normal RPG sessions. I intend to do this using my projector and laptop. I want to have the GM version open on my laptop screen and have the player window open on the screen that is being sent to the projector. So this way everyone at the table can see the player view projected on a nearby wall. While I have my GM view on the laptop screen with all my notes etc hidden. Any thoughts on how I could achieve this? Or perhaps this should be a feature request?

Should not be a problem at all, just open each session in a different browser. Open your GM session in Firefox and open the player session in Chrome. That way you can have separate logins for each. Just drag the player login version to the projector and you should be good to go. Note: I said a different browser, not a different browser window. If you open two copies of Firefox they will share cookies and the second one will inherit the login from the first instance. You will need to use a totally different browser for the player instance. I've often done this to play with multiple logins while developing web sites and it works great.

Thanks Steve, that's a great idea.

Or use incognito mode in Chrome which does not share cookies.

We have an odd situation where all of our players are in person at a session in Australia except for two, who live together in the USA. Could the GM have his computer open for his notes, etc., a shared login for the two overseas players, and a single projector (either extended desktop or second computer) for the others in-house?

Roguebot, if I understand you correctly you have: 2 people on one computer 1 group using a projector 1 GM using his own computer This would require 3 accounts and yes, it is not only possible but people do this sort of thing already. :) - Gauss

Roguebot, that is just basic setup, more advanced setups are possible. You can even run two instances of Roll20 off of a single computer (if the GM had to share the computer with the projector). However, two instances of the same browser may cause problems so in that case I would run two different browsers. - Gauss
