Transferring GM

Is there a way to transfer the GM to another person in the campaign? I'm setting up a campaign which will have rotating Game Masters

You can promote another player in the campaign to GM from the campaign details screen (hover your mouse over their avatar). The creator of the campaign will always be a GM, however, when you enter the VTT, you can go to the settings tab and click "Re-Join as Player"
ah ok, thank you!

It is generally best to create an "entry page" so that a player-GM comes in on the entry page and can switch to player mode before being moved to the active page.
how would i go about that? if you dont mind explaining?

Go to the "Page Toolbar" button (blue icon at the top right of the map). Click on "Create New Page" (far left of the page toolbar area) Click on the name "Untitled" of the new page and rename it to "Waiting Area" or something like that. Now you have an entry page. When you want the group to go to that page drag the Players ribbon to it. If you want only a specific person on that page drag their name/icon (bottom left of the screen) to that page. After your player-GM has switched to player mode drag the player ribbon (or the specific player's icon) to the page you want them to be on.
Oh ok, thanks very much!
Well i going to have an Gm switching campaing to, but have a diffrent solution, we are going to create a GM account. So who ever is going to be the gm is using that account, everybody else is just using his own. By the way i hope there is no problem in doing so. i mean beacuase the GM account is shared between some persons.

If you mean that multiple people share the account, not sure if there is a rule against it but whoever you share the account with needs to be trustworthy especially if your linking a credit card to it which I would not recommend because, I think, they would access to your personal information. if this is for your face to face group and you trust them with your wallet, why not. Online group, I would not trust them with personal stuff.
I made a secondary account to let my local guys play on the same account, looking over the account rules I didn't notice any clauses prohibiting the sharing of accounts. As far as personal info goes, no card information is accessible through the site, the only info about your card is a reference to the last 4 digits. Not saying you should share your account, but that your card info is safe. What isn't safe though is someone could order stuff from the marketplace using saved info.
