Novice question: Where is the "kick player" button? For example if I want to remove a player from a game. Walk me through the process please.

You can not remove them from the game board itself but you can hover over their avatar in the detail page and a popup menu will show you your options such as kick player or promote to co-GM. If you chose to kick the player that way, you remove them from the campaign completely and they will have to be reinvited.

Thank you.  I couldn't find this anywhere.  I'll test it.

Thanks Pat S.
So to summarize  how to kick or ban a player from the game, you can only do that from the Game Loading Page. 
1. You hover over the player avatar in the Game Loading Page (cannot do in-game)
2. A pop up will come up that says:
PROMOTE TO GM
KICK FROM GAME

 I'm posting a simple illustration because I couldn't find this anywhere.  All I got were vague references.  Hopefully this will help others in the future.

Roll20 Wiki said:

The Game‘s Creator can hover over a Player‘s icon to manipulate the permissions for that Player.
  • Promote to GM will grant that Player GM status in the Game, commonly called a co-GM. This is useful for jointly running a Game with someone else or if the Creator would like to become a Player in a Game they created. Promoting someone to GM may also be beneficial in helping another user with GM-level features and or solving Game issues. Promoted to GMs, have limited control over a Game:
    • Cannot:
      • Change the next game time display.
      • Change the Game's description.
      • Change the Game's settings options, such as the version of Character Sheet that is set, toggling public access, changing the background image, toggling character import, or list the game in Looking for Players.
      • Delete the entire game.
      • Kick or Remove Players.
      • Clear the Chat Archive.
      • A Co-GM will not have access to the original Game‘s Creator‘s image library, character journals, handouts, decks, rollable tables, and other games' pages, however those elements that are being used within the game are available to the Co-GM. Images that are being used within the games' pages can be manipulated by the Co-GM as long as they remain within the game editor. If the Co-GM removes any of these shared elements they will not be available unless the Game‘s Creator restores them to play.
    • Can:
      • Full access to all layers.
      • Create a new map page.
      • Put pictures and tokens to the tabletop from their image library.
      • Assign and edit tokens.
      • Add handouts, new characters, assign journals.
      • Move the Players ribbon to different maps.
      • Play music from the jukebox.
      • Read GM whispers.
      • Make macros and token actions and show or hide them from players.
      • Control dynamic lighting settings if the Game‘s Creator is a Pro or Plus subscriber.
  • Demote to Player will return a previously promoted GM back to Player.
  • Kick from Game will remove a Player from the Game.

Visuals :)
The wiki says "over their icon" and is buried about 74 lines down below the origination of the page.  Oh well.   I like the big graphic better than the wiki's overly complicated and cluttered description.

Thanks again!
