Two Gm's for Easier Setup/gameplay

So me and my friend both just found this amazing free site (hope it stays that way!) and we were wondering if whether or not if it was possible to set one of the players as a GM to help set up and or make the game piece by piece (since we are starting from scratch.) Any possibility that might be a thing or are we out of luck, we have been looking for a while and now we have turned to the forums.
On the front page of your game, on the right hand side where it lists the players, hover over the name of the player and a box should pop up giving you the option to make him a GM or kick him from the game.

Just be aware, there can only be one ' Creator ' per game and the Creator has abilities that other GMs do not. GMs: Cannot: Change the next game time display. Change the Game's description. Change the Game's settings options, such as the version of Character Sheet that is set, toggling public access, changing the background image, toggling character import, or list the game in Looking for Players. Delete the entire game. Kick or Remove Players . Clear the Chat Archive. A Co-GM will not have access to the original Game‘s Creator‘s image library, character journals, handouts, decks, rollable tables, and other games' pages, however those elements that are being used within the game are available to the Co-GM. Images that are being used within the games' pages can be manipulated by the Co-GM as long as they remain within the game editor. If the Co-GM removes any of these shared elements they will not be available unless the Game‘s Creator restores them to play. Use Transmogrifier. Can: Full access to all layers. Create a new map page. Put pictures and tokens to the tabletop from their image library. Assign and edit tokens. Add handouts, new characters, assign journals. Move the Players ribbon to different maps. Play music from the jukebox. Read GM whispers. Make macros and token actions and show or hide them from players. Control dynamic lighting settings if the Game‘s Creator is a Pro or Plus subscriber. Manage the Game‘s forum, including sinking and deleting posts. Happy rolling!

Once you are familiar with Roll20, and you're happy running your games here, I recommend you consider a Pro subscription. The API, particularly, makes games easier to run. 
The game creator is also the only one who can select the audio/video options.
