Possible to change player avatar in-game?

I have a character that will frequently change appearance and I'd like to be able to change my player avatar without having to exit the game each time, so that the other players see the changes with having to open my character sheet.&nbsp; Is there any way to do this? Alternately/additionally I could simply post the image to chat.&nbsp; I found this thread: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/590539/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/590539/slug%7D</a> Is that my best bet?&nbsp; It says you have to be a "Mentor"...does that even exist still?&nbsp; (I was once upon a time, but I don't see that category any more.)

Hi David! Good news / bad news. The thread you found contains an API script, which can be used in games created by a Pro subscriber GM. You don't need an API Script just to post a picture in Chat. This can be done with a standard macro command. Try this refined version: /me describes it so you can imagine this, ?{What is it a picture of? Write a concise caption:|Picture of } [Image](?{Image URL ending with JPG, GIF, or PNG|<a href="https://app.roll20.net/images/quantumroll2.png" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/images/quantumroll2.png</a>}) The standard basic part of that is: [Image Description Words Here]( <a href="https://app.roll20.net/images/quantumroll2.png" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/images/quantumroll2.png</a>) Another neat Roll20 technique is, you can change your Token on-tabletop to have different appearances, using the Rollable Table Token method. Wiki docs for this: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Using_a_Rollab" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Using_a_Rollab</a>... Unfortunately changing your Player Avatar is not as easy right now in-game. You have to change it in your account profile, as you described. Here is a Suggestion to improve that along with an official Dev Team response about the long term development (You can add your Comments and potentially vote +1 if you like the idea): <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1245756/unique-p" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1245756/unique-p</a>...
Thank you! And, yes, being able to display your character avatar INSTEAD of your player avatar would totally solve it for me.
