GMs having an option to see exactly what his players see?

Basically what the title says, have an option for GMs to turn on to see exactly what his players will be seeing, just to quickly and easily ensure everything is how the GM wants it and the players see/don't see what they need to.
I would love this, annoying to have a friend join and make sure everything is okay.

I would especially love this to diagnose problems with players struggling with how to do something in the interface.
I'd like to see this because it allows better narrative control for the game master --he selects the zoom of the image/map, the location/focus of the displayed portion, etc. PS: I did read this too quickly; what I'm talking about is the GM being able to select zoom/view for the players. In any case, Ash Phantom's idea is good to me.
One solution that I figured out is to make another account. Start a game with your GM account, then open a new tab and in this new tab go to the Roll20 website and sign into your "testing" account. Once you have signed in, paste the game URL in the new tab, and you will start a game both as a GM and as a player. Not very convenient, but it works.
We'll look into this idea, thanks.
You have my vote! (and my axe)... it would be great if there was a quick key for this option like "tab" or "ctrl+XXXX" just for brief check ups.
