Can the same account be logged in with multiple devices at the same time?

I'm going to be starting a game for my young son, two of his friends and their dad soon and plan to use Roll20. The kids are too young to have any kind of email addresses or accounts of their own. If the dad creates an account could that same account be logged into a game on multiple devices so each kid could have their own screen? I'm going to have to do something similar on my end, I assume that if my son was logged into another device with my account he could still see all the GM things I see?

You can yes.&nbsp; However, there is a neat workaround that works for Gmail accounts (and possibly other mail systems as well). In Gmail, you can add a +symbol in the middle of an email address before the @ symbol, and Gmail will deliver all of the mail to a single email address.&nbsp; For example, if the kid's dad's email address was " <a href="mailto:bestdadintheworld@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">bestdadintheworld@gmail.com</a> ", he could create a Roll20 account using the email address, and create two more using " <a href="mailto:bestdadintheworld+childone@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">bestdadintheworld+childone@gmail.com</a> " and " <a href="mailto:bestdadintheworld+childtwo@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">bestdadintheworld+childtwo@gmail.com</a> " and emails to all three accounts will be sent to his regular email address.&nbsp; Basically gmail ignores anything between the + and @ symbols.&nbsp; Same with the period symbol - <a href="mailto:bestdadintheworld@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">bestdadintheworld@gmail.com</a> is the same to Gmail as <a href="mailto:best.dad.in.the.world@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">best.dad.in.the.world@gmail.com</a> . Or you can also just create custom email addresses for the kids that only you have access to... they're free. :) The benefit to using different accounts is that you can set each token to each player, so they only have a view from the token they control.&nbsp; Otherwise it'll be one 'player' controlling all the tokens, so all the players will have vision from all player tokens.
Wow, that is an amazing workaround. It solves all the issues of young kids having electronic accounts and still lets them have full control over their characters. I have to say, I just discovered Roll20 recently but I am really impressed with how well this all seems to work.
