Password for a Campaign?

Hey guys! I have a simple question: Can I lock my campaign with a password for only my players acess? Waiting for the answer! Thanks ;)

Do you want to lock your players out? You cannot. The best advice is, make a "splash page". Just put a blank page, or welcome page, and put the Players ribbon there. It is all they will see. If they are in the chat you can just ask them to leave. Do you want to lock out everyone Except your Players? This is already the case. Campaigns are only viewable by members, invited or accepted by the GM.
And where I must accept or reject this members?

After you have decided which player's you want into your game, however you decide, those are the only player's that you send your campaign link to. I agree with Gold that you should create a "Splash" page and keep your Player's ribbon parked on it between sessions. For example, I have a tavern backdrop with a crackling fire and music. I leave handouts and notes for the player's to look at between games. Only after you move the Player's ribbon to another page will the player's screens change to the new map/page.

The only people who have access to your campaign are the ones with whom you share the game link. This game link is found in the green boxtext when you launch your campaign (the official name for loading your gametable).

BTW, you could create a campaign to help with deciding which player's will get invited to the "real" campaign.
Alright guys, I'll have to ask politely for spectators to leave the Roll20.net room and watch on Twitch.tv ... The problem is that every time a viewer in, I'll have to stop the game to explain it. But... OK! Thank you guys for the answer!

Rafael, you can kick players out of the game from the Campaign splash screen. This will change your join link so that they cannot return to the game.

I remember there being an issue where kicking a player from a campaign doesn't actually force the player to leave the session. Has this been fixed?

Rafael, kicking players from a campaign is an option, but it does mean having to give people a new join link for the next session because the old one won't work anymore and any characters/journals/tokens controlled by that player will have to be reassigned if that player ever comes back to the game. I strongly suggest keeping the join-link as private as possible, and urge your players to not share the link. Perhaps punishments for those who share the link without permission. Sadly, even requiring passwords wouldn't help if you've got players sharing the link with others, as they could also just share the password. I wish you luck with your games, Rafael!

Players don't actually have the join link available to them, unless the join link is how they joined the campaign (as opposed to the LFG tab, and I'm pretty sure direct invites don't use it either) and they saved the url. If the join link has changed (which happens when someone is kicked), the rest of the players in the campaign aren't capable of sharing the join link with anyone.
