Hiding my own camera

Hi I would like to know if it is possible to hide to myself my own webcam (and only mine, not the other players), while still broadcasting to the other players? That way, I think it would be easier to focus, and not be distracted my own view in the mirror! Thanks for your answers.

It should be possible with Stylus, but I'm not in a location where I can test right now.

you could tape or prop-up a piece of cardboard over that small section of your screen, since it tends to stay in the same place throughout the game. If the GM has the setting "Allow players to move video avatars" instead of having them locked into the bottom row, then I think you can stack them on top of each other, so you could try moving another player's video square over yours.

You should be able to accomplish this with the Stylus extension. It will only affect the browser you install the style and extension on, so it shouldn't affect your players at all. Here is the code. It will need modification by you. #player_-ABC_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO.player.ui-droppable.ui-draggable {     display: none !important; } Important, it appears the div for the player video is determined by your player id. I have written this as  -ABC_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO  above. You will need to put your own player ID in its place. I don't know of an easier way to find this than by right clicking on the avatar area and choosing "Inspect" Scroll up or down (probably up) until you see something that looks like this: The string of characters that begins with a dash is your player ID. Replace the string in the example with that number and create a stylus style using the modified code above. Installation instructions and information about using Stylus for Roll20 can be found here:  Show Off Your Style 2: The Stylening! I haven't done extensive testing, so I don't know if this will break anything, but if it does, just turn off the Stylus style or deactivate stylus. You cannot hurt your game or data with this extension.

From what I have been given to understand, the player_id is unique within a given game. So if you kick a player, or create a new game, you might need to edit the id.
