Player View for GMs

I'd like to recommend that GMs be allowed to move to Player View without having "Re-join as Player."  The problem I often run into is fiddling with dynamic lighting and fog of war...the Players are one map while I'm refining a map for future use, I exit and re-join as a player and invariably am on the wrong map, so I have to exit and re-join, move the marker for which map players should be on, then exit/re-join as player again, etc.  It would make set up so much easier if one could simply toggle the view without having to exit and re-join. Thanks.
+1 On that idea.

You can adjust your GM opacity in the page settings. I personally keep mine about 90% shaded so I can tell exactly what my players are seeing.

While it's not an ideal solution, you could make a second account and add it as a player to your game. Keep both open in seperate tabs, and you'll be able to see both views at once. Edit: Actually, I just tested it out, and you don't need to make a second account. Just open up two tabs with the game, re-join as a player in one, and you're set.
