Move players "camera" in the map

Hi, in my campaign I have a big map with multiple caverns (and cavern layers) in various location and I have my fog of war enabled. When my players enter said map they end up centered on the top left corner of a black map (since the fog of war is enabled) and it's a bit tedious for them to find their respective tokens, especially when moving from one place to another (portal etc..) I understand most people use different maps to limit the size of each, but is there a way to "center" my players' viewport on a token or an area of the map ? or to set the starting position of a map ?

If you'd like to center the player's view on a specific place on the map, just hold down the Shift key while you ping that location: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Tabletop_Overview#Pinging_the_Map" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Tabletop_Overview#Pinging_the_Map</a>
Thanks, that's awesome !
Glad I could help. There's lots of great information in the Roll20 Wiki, so feel free to browse around.

I need to remember to tell one of my DM's this. He has been frequently telling the players "It's in the bottom middle. Zoom out and scroll down". DM SHIFT-PING will be better!
