Is there a way for me to join as player in a game I made, without having to enter the game first

I used to be able to bookmark the "re-join as player" button from inside the game, but the UI got remade and the ability to bookmark the button is now gone.
I would strongly suggest that you use a ' Dummy Account ' instead of the 'Rejoin as Player' function. I'm not quickly finding any way to bookmark a link to initially rejoin as a player now.

I found a solution: If you go to your game settings, you can see the game ID in the page URL, which is a string of numbers. Then, you just type in <a href="https://app.roll20.net/editor/setcampaign/(GAMEID)/?desiredrole=player" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/editor/setcampaign/(GAMEID)/?desiredrole=player</a> and bookmark the link. The game ID goes without the ( and ).

Hmm, with the recent update to the settings tab, I'm not able to right-click on the 'Rejoin as Player' button to get the URL any more. It used to be possible when it was a static link, but it has been changed to a button so there's no 'Copy Link Address' option any more. Do you see something different? (What right-click looks like to me for 'Rejoin as Player' and other buttons) (What right-click looks like to me on the Settings tab itself and other static links)

Well, crud....&nbsp; You are right, that doesn't work anymore.&nbsp; I didn't think that the redesign would affect that, but it appears the button is calling a javascript function now, so isn't really connected to the url at all anymore.
Hey folks, Great catch on this! I am passing this along to the team for a correction. The screenshots and everything folks provided here is incredibly helpful, so thank you for that as well.
